Default Engine Starting

Definetly pull the trim back as low as it will go and continue to run. You don't want it the engine to stall, but you also don't want it flying you around. Opening up the idle bleed screw should give you a slower idle. Again, I have the LA, and it idles quite quick for me. I haven't messed around with the idle screw much, but it gets the job done. If you find that it just won't slow down on the landing, put an 11x4 on it. Some would say 11x5, but with a bushed engine like that, it is better to let it spin up to higher rpms. I still run my engine, and while it isn't the best one that I have, it always will run, and should give you a great start to flying.
