Default RE: Boy, THAT was stupid....
ORIGINAL: RC-FIEND

the motor was running backwards!
1. if the motor was running backwards didn.t you feel the force under your foot as the plane should have tried to roll backwards.............No, the engine was running so poorly that there was no thrust

...... 2. If I flip the prop completely around and start the motor running backwards will the upset any laws of RC airplanes ?
YES..........the engine will not rev-up, which is why I went for the needle valve, not realizing that the motor was backwards.....and of couse the plane won't fly!!
