hey, thanks for the info guys, that really helps. basically the prop didn't turn over at all with the starter, which mearly spun round on the spinner and made a nice groove in it. i probably want pushing too hard. my other 5 glow planes are still in their boxes - i got a bit enthusiastic last year and just bought what i liked (i'm crazy about planes, having started on real ones 20 years ago, but frustrated now i live in japan and there's no private flying). i've got a graupner giles .46, a waco .32, a spitfire .90, an f86 d/f and a p38 2x.32 kit, (the others are artf). got to start this one to get onto the others !!

hey fourstroke, what motor are you running in the wattage corsair ? i tried several different ones, including finally a motor max 400t and 1500mah 3 cell lipo and it still wouldn't fly. did get 2 nice flights one day with it and i was really happy, running an f27 f480 motor. if it wasn't for that i wouldn't believe it would fly at all. shame, i want to fly all my planes to the max !!
