Wildthing,
Do you know if this is his maiden flight on the plane?
If it is ,and it has up thrust like mine did, tell him to be aware that when the plane leaves the ground it might pitch up nose high, and stall. Mine did just that, and i had to shove the stick down hard to get it level.I was Lucky, that the enginge was pulling really nice and strong, being a gasser, it had the power range up, if it would have been a methanol two stroke, i don't think i would have been able to save it, as it would not have been at full power level. Thanks for replying, Paul
