Last year at Monster plane's, in Lakeland Florida, a pilot had to fly for a little over 45 minute's because he lost his throttle. After running out of fuel and then landing he looked to see what was wrong. His throttle arm had came off the servo. He learned two thing's that day. One, use thread lock on metal geared servo's. Two, leave the spring on. No he did not have an on board kill or on board choke, does now.
Everyone do as they wish, it's your airplane.
I'm done with this thread.
Enjoy!
A guy with a waiver to fly at monster planes didnt have a on board kill switch. he should not be allowed to fly any plane at a contest/show again. i wonder why the CD allowed that.
Richbran. If the spring holds it agains the side of the carb wouldnt it wear that side out just as fast if it had no spring? What carb how many hours? carbs are what like 30-40 dollars excluding OS lol
