Hello all, this is my first post. I am a newbie to the RC world but I have always wanted to get into RC planes. I bought a Cessna 182 off of ebay and have almost got it finished. By the way anybody heard of the brand HobbyFan? I am not impressed with the Kit at all, but at least it looks nice when finished.
Anyway on to my first qeustion. When I am setting up the throttle on the transmitter how should I make it when the stick is pulled all the way down. Should the engine idle? Or should I be able to completly close the throttle and cut the engine off. What I did was set the trim all the way to the top and then left 1/5th of the carb open. This way when I pull the stick all the way down the engine will idle, but when I pull the trim all the way down it will completly close the carb and therfore shut the engine off. I dont know if this is how it should be or not but I thought it was a good idea. How should/what do most people do?
