Practiced on the ground but have a few questions
Well Ive made it to stage 2 which was to practice with my plane just taxiing it around on the ground. I was giving it full throttle and then just trying to keep the plane straight for 10 metres or so and then cutting the throttle and slowing down. I have a couple of questions though.
1. I found it hard to keep the plane straight whilst it was gaining speed down the runway. I found that I was weaving from left to right no matter how slight I moved the rudder/front wheel controls. Is there any trick to this or is it merely practice?
2. I keep pulling the throttle too far back and shutting down the engine especially when the plane is far away from me and I cannot here it. I have adjusted the screw on the rc unit so I am able to get the full throttle movement matched to the full movement of the throttle control (where as before the engine would shut down at the middle position on the rc unit.) If I was to set the adjustment screw so the engine would not shut down at the fully back position on the stick then I will not be able to shut the engine down when I want to. Is there any secret to this? How is it normally set up.
3. I am running my engine rich as it is new but have noticed a fair bit of oil is coming out all over the side of the plane. I have now run two tanks through the engine so could I now lean it up a bit or better to leave it for another tank or so.
Thanks,
Troy.
