I've got another basic question regarding the throttle. The throttle in the engine has a range of movement from the 8 O'clock position (toward the back of the plane to the 4 O'clock position (toward the front of the plane). Remember, I haven't started the engine yet, so I'm just trying to get my bearings here. Which direction is ''throttle up'' and which is ''throttle down?'' Also, do I want the throttle in the 6 O'clock position while it's idling?
The engine is a Tower Hobby .4.
Thanks again everyone!
Move the engine throttle lever manually to its most extreme positions. When to throttle is 'open' you will see a large opening in the carb intake. This position will be a 'max' power setting.
