Correct initial throttle setting
Ok, first of all, I'm very new to this sport. I have been flying a Super Cub for the past 3 months and feel like I can fly it in my sleep. I have also been attendnig the weekly training night of my local club and putting time in on their trainer planes. I also have been flying on my G4 sim. None of that can help me figure this out. I just purchased an Extra 300S. I plan on taking it to the club feild this week to have one of the insturctors trim it out and buddy up with me, but I want to get all the tuning done before then.
What is the proper way to set the throttle so that when I pull the throttle stick all the way down it idles without dieing? I could just adjust the push rod from the servo to the carb so that when the servo is all the way "back" the throttle is still a little bit open. But then, how would I kill the throttle once its on the ground?
Sorry for the 101 level question, but hey, we all have to learn.
