Myself and 2 other club members present my saito 91 started up at full rpm. and my transmitter throttle action had no effect. The transmitter and receiver both turned on, all other functions working properly.The model, a smaller edge 540T was of course in a strong hold device but I quickly stepped over and in front of the stab. I went through several selections including entering other models hoping there could at least be a throttle change. Oddly enough this had never happened to me or my 2 friends and we have been in the hobby a long time. The edge cowl is attached with 6 screws.
Someone suggested pressing my dynatron starter firmly against the tru- turn spinner hoping it would stall the engine. I pictured my starter and both hands bouncing off the spinner and into the 13" prop. After at least 10 minutes of this I carefully picked up the model, walked about 200 feet across the strip away from everyone and quickly held it nose down and up and it stalled. After removing the cowl it was of course the throttle cable that had disconnected, a first time for me or my 2 friends. Because of the way the engine is installed an extension for the high speed needle is impossible, as it would hit the muffler. With the big gassers we have kill switches. Maybe someone can make a suggestion as to other options. My only advice is to not panic, make sure the model is secure. This engine would have run about 30 minutes with the installed tank.
