Default West 50

Hi everyone,
Still can't shut the engine down with throttle. Compressed o-ring (under carby) as suggested early but made know difference.
Anyone got any other ideas ????

Had its first flight today, came home from the field with a big
First launch almost ended in tears but managed to catch it in time, its got heaps of torque roll to counteract. Second launch was not that bad as I was ready for it..
The first two flights went really well not much trim to apply for straight and level flight............my god it takes up some sky, the whole club was watching this thing streak across the sky.

Third and fourth flight was off a dolly I constructed....and man....I'll never hand launch this puppy again......an awesome sight watching this thing power down the runway then pulling vertical and rolling on the way up..............

As I said earlier, I was a little disappointed with the kit, but the flying certainly makes up for it, I've still got a *&#$..............
Cant wait till next weekend..................
Cheers
Ossie
