Quick question, what radio are you using and on the Transmitter, what lever are you using to control the ECU?

Hi I have a Futaba 12fg the turbine switch is SA right next to my gear switch of SB i have them set in the same direction as gear retraction that way if I accidentally bump the turbine switch it will be upwards to the start/run position and I wont shut it down.

Thanks for all the ideas guys I didnt know about shaking the airplane while running the engine it makes sense. I also did not know about filling up the UAT first, I followed BVMs instructions but wasnt aware of the rest.
Thats what kinda sucks about where I am there is really no one to teach me these little tricks of the trade and it could have saved an airframe.

Jack- Im sure airframe could be repaired, but I do not have the skill level, time, nor talent to do it, so Im afraid i will have to scrap it, Or save it for parts If I can ever locate another one.
