DW, when you bounce a 4 stroker backwards it will throw the prop forward and it should fire off. You dont want to push it completely thru the compression when going backwards (clockwise), it takes a little practice, well primed and a broke in engine, but it works. I didnt believe it at first, but it works. I have been in the hobby for only 2 years and I have to say, it's not just the flyin', it's the people too. I read about people who fly by themselves or maybe a couple of guys, if I'm at our field and nobody is there, it's kinda boring....[], nobody to talk about manuvers, share advice, laugh!, pick up pieces!, whatever. How about safety? I always put my cell phone on my belt if I'm by myself, just in case something would happen, especially when I fly my heli, they can do some damage.
