Status: offline 		Hello,

I have recently required a Tower Trainer 40. It has a O.S. FS series 52 engine. The engine is in like new condition. I was told the plane had never been off the ground.


I had trouble getting it started. It spun for approximately 2 mins, then came to life. It died immediately. I think it was getting glow and fuel, so I am leaning towards the A/F trims.

Where exactly is a good starting place to tune? (i.e. fully closed, then one turn out, etc.) This is my first 4 stroke R/C, is there anything I need to know about 4 stroke as opposed to 2 stroke?

Thanks,
Zach

However, this engine is reviewed by Clarence Lee in Model Airplane News this currnt issue (the one with the two for one offer). I have not read; but, Clarence Lee is one of (if not the best) engine people. His information is always right on.
