Default RE: Check list

startup:

1) check prop condition
2) check that the prop is securely attached (remove muffler and carb plugs if used)
3) fill tank... watch for leaks.
4) prime engine (can be a few drops fuel down the CARB or choke till you see the fuel get to the carb. (it will inject some)
5) flip prop a couple of times
6) connect glow
7) start engine (you gotta know how to do it safely...)

Go fly.

Put it away:

1) connect muffler line to carb line on the fuel tank. (keeps air out... less chance of contaminating any remaining fuel... no chance of remaining fuel dripping)
2) connect glow
3) spin it with the starter to get remaing fuel burned out of the engine.
3a) some people like to put some after run oil in... no real need if you fly every week.
4) plug carb and muffler (you can buy plugs... or use some cap off of somethng that fits or just use a piece of paper towel. Keeping the dirt out is main purpose.)
