PKH, I should have put more info and background in my previous post. I just want to get it started to check out the motor not to fly it. I had the shuttle clamped to a picknick table so it can't take off. I had gotten it used a couple of years ago and want to start it prior to selling it. I also have a Whiteman practice stand that came with it but it seems to missing a part of it. I am new to heli's but not to R/C or nitro. I searched the web to see if I could find a downloadable manual for it but couldn't find one. I've decided that I'm not going to fly heli's, not at this point anyway, I just want to verify that it starts. How can I find info on the throttle settings to start it up?
