ouch....flame outs sounds bad........I only do hovering and small circuts so far. I like to keep it simple and that way my wallet doesnt need to come out all the time. I will lower the idle now....good to know about idle up switch. but what does it do....just increase idle or something so your engine doesnt spudder?

I will only hover for now. But the fly bar paddles are a bit different on this helicopter so i am not sure were the ,iddle will be but Ill find out soon enough.

thanx again for all the info on the nitro helicopters...youve been a great help...I am going out back to start her up now so we will see what happens and im sure there will be a post about my results.
