Hanger-9 p-51 pts mk II problems
I purchased a Hanger-9 P-51 PTS about 3 weeks ago and got it all assembled and i am really excited to fly it, mind you this is my first plane and have never flown before. Well my father in law and brother in law both are into RC and i brought my mustang over to my father in laws house to run it since i dont have starters, fuel pump or fuel yet. So we get it started and it starts right up but dies immediatly after kicking up the throttle, so we adjust it down and down and down and finally get to the stop and the thing is still running rich. We then spin the low needle vale past the stop and it finally starts running right, the valve is only about a 1/4 turn from fully closed.... That was my first problem after a while my father in law spins the prop and says it loose so i pull the cone off and retighten it and it felt like it didnt tighten properly and he said the same thing, we then figured we tighten it as much as we can and wait till my brother in law comes over.After my brother in law shows up we do some more tuing and get it closeso we stopped since it was getting warm and then went back to it later after my brother in law broke in the new motor for his heli and then all of the sudden my mustang wouldnt stay running without the glow starter attached, so we finish tuning the valves and got it running perfect with the glow starter on it and right before we shut it off the propeller flies off. well we try and tighten it again and it still doesnt want to tighten down right.
The next day i went to Ace hardware and just picked up a locking nut for the propeller which so far after running it seems to stay tight. So, so far i have had to spend 3 hours tuning it, a propeller that wont tighten down and i have had to replace the glow plug cause it wouldnt stay running after we remove the glow starter. Then later that day my father in law said he has had problems with one of the hanger 9 servos that are installed in it.... i guess im just wondering if other people that have this PTS have had simular problems or worse and if i should consider changing out the servos and motor. i dont want to take this out for my first flight and all of the sudden have the thing take a nose dive right into the ground. I love this plane but am worried about flying it.
