i just got my first nitro plane
my question is: is the spinner suppose to wear down when u put the electric start to it or am i not pusshing the the electric start to it hard enough
My bet is your trying to start a new engine with alot of compression near the compression stroke and thats why the donut is spinning on the spinner.
BE VERY CAREFULL. DO NOT HAVE THE GLOW IGNIGHTER ON THE GLOW PLUG WHEN DOING THIS. Or while the engine is HOT!
After fueling the tank and priming the engine, turn the prop over past the compression stroke counter clockwise and then back it up, clockwise untill the prop feels tight on the compression stroke. Then use the starter.
