That trainer in the add seems to be a Thunder Tiger.

What you are trying to do is dangerous, if you don't know how yet.
There are many important things to check and adjust in the engine, radio and model before the first flight.

If you take it up by yourself, your model it is not going to last.

You need help from an experienced RC pilot.
Joining AMA and a club will be even better, for insurance and free instruction.

Here, at the RCU members section, you can see RC pilots that live in your area, and then contact them for guidance about clubs in the area.

Best of luck!


I would highly reccomend you re read each and every item in this gentlemans post above, more importantly heed what is being said.

Get experianced help before you attempt to start that engine, I don,t care how much you read, not only for safety reasons but also because of the damage you can do to the engine simply by trying to turn it over with a starter dry.

Glow powered airplanes are not like surface vehicles and certainly not toys, They require a steep learning curve that you are not going to learn as a loner without at best destroying your equipment or worse hurting yourself and others. Do not start that engine without getting a knowledgeable mentor first.
