I fly 1/2 A glo
Not me its my pals. And no he is not running a throttle. I am building one myself and I plan to run a throttle.
another thing, he tried that starting method wwith the allen screw and wrench. We found that the screw stripped out before we could even get the norvel started. He made a pully and used a starter belt just like the old shuttle heli's. You will need a good toss for a launch, but the plane gets "on step"quickly and is AWESOME in the air. You will be impressed. We all were!!! Lands easily. He even did a couple of slide and goes of the grass. I cannot wait untill mine is done. It is like a ducted fan without the hassle.
Good luck
Brian
P.S. I can get more info if you like, such as prop selection and I know he made his pully out of a common item, but I forget exactly how. I will not see him untill sunday. Just let me know if interested
