hey, I just got home with my first rc plane. Its a hanger 9 easy fly 40 and was only flown once.The motor is factory and I cant say the condition it was stored in.The plane was a rtf and the owner said it was purchased about two years ago.Ive never done this so I am trying to read and get familer with all the stuff .I dont want to do anything wrong and hurt the motor.I read one placesaid that after every use you should remove the plug and shot turn over then spray again wd40 before storing.I know this is not hard for the people that fly regular but I dont know squat .

thanks chet from fl

find a flying club and get a mentor/instructor.

I have a field near my home and thats where Im going to fly.But I work tell 7:00pm and its dark by the time I get home.So I want to at least have an idea of how to fire up motor and run some fuel thru it before next weekend.My new hobby and I cant just look at her all week

Most companies supplying motors and planes post their manuals on line. I would do a search for the manual on your engine to get to the basics and then learn all you can from the folks on this forum.

First thing is to check your needle settings, did the person you got the motor from already tune the engine? After you get your engine settings verified or adjusted this is how u start the motor.
fill up tank with glow fuel, (prime engine) put finger over muffler opening and turn prop over 4-6 times until fuel has entered carb. Put glow driver onto engine, double check transmitter throttle settings, and turn motor over either with chicken stick or electric starter. Also try youtube, someone might have put a video on how to start a glow motor on there. But for safety, make sure your prop is on very tight, make all your tuning adjustments from behind the prop, and try not to reach over your prop. and make sure your plane is unable to move, you can either tie it down or use metal stakes to hold it in place.

I tried to look up the thunder tiger gp 42 motor manual but no luck.The motor will only run with glow heater attached I think its to rick I dont know I have three screws on it and kinda figured out the throttel stop screw cause I can see the plunger gap change.Its the other two screws and out more air or out more fuel.I just dont know .And like I said I cantfind the motor manual.Need help please.I am learning with my first rc ever and its alot but its fun too.
thanks chet from fl
