Two weeks ago my engine was at WIDE open when it started.
I watched a guy at our field start is super stick; when it started it went to full throttle. Turned out, the tx was on the wrong model[:@]. Luckly he had a good grip on the plane. Our club has just the wire spools and everyone starts his engine on the ground. The only one with the stake is the same guy with the super stick, and he sticks 'em in 2 lil pipes flush with the ground so his 50cc Edge can't go nowhere. Seeing this thread; I'm gonna bring up making new stand, like the ones ya'll are talking about at our club meeting.
Hello Villa. The stands are great we have 10 at our field. We even made a couple bigger for the bigger planes. They make life so much easier at the field. Also a 2.4 radio would have prevented the wrong model mishap. I did that once with my 72mhz and the stand saved my plane. It will never happen again with my Spektrum though thank goodness. Anyway here are some photos of our stands at the field. Notice the size of the one with the cub on it?
