RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
Well, I got my fingers whacked for the first, and last time, tonight.
I had the motor mounted on a test stand, flipped it a few times, then once it decided to flip back at me. So fast I couldn't get out of the way. I had forgotten what a glow motor could do to. Luckily, other than a scare and a sore knuckle, no damage, no skin broken, but a valuable lesson learned.
I did get a 1-1/2 inch harwood dowl from the basement and continue flipping with it... finally kicked off! Man, does that 450 sound great. The glow driver lets it idle so slow. It's crazy rich, and I'm going to keep it running slow and cool for a few tanks, then I'll get it mounted and see how it flies!
