4. I can't find in any of my manuals or books (JR manual, Beginner's Guide, Ray's Authoritative) on how to start the engine. I take it you just set the radio for idle and attach the starter ? I might have to meet w/ HeliHead or Flmgrip 1st after reading about that other guy who almost lost his hand trying to start for the first time.
If you have no previous experience of glow engines please try to find someone to help you. But just to see the thing run these are the things you must do.
1. Fuel up
2. Reconnect the fuel line and prime the engine by applying the starter until fuel is seen entering the carb
3. Ensure all needles are set at manufactures recomendations for engine break in
4. Apply glow plug power
5. Ensure throttle is at low idle
6. HOLD THE ROTOR HEAD!!
7. Engage starter
After a few seconds the engine should then fire up to life.
hope this helps, Abram
