180 Degrees
I am guessing you mean 180 degrees before you feel compression? That is normal. I would highly advise getting help before you try to start this. It sounds as if you are new. You need to have someone show you how to start it and be safe, as well as checking out the plane it is in to make sure everything is set up right and the controls are right. They can also teach you to fly it so it doesn't get broken.
