Default Question about heli engine

Ok, my Caliber 5 looks like it is a good heli except for one thing...how are you supposed to see into the carb? Theres no way to see into it due to the front of the heli and I am not sure if I need to reverse the throttle switch. I have an OS Hyper 50 in it. Is WOT toward the front of the engine or towards the rear? Any help would be appreciated. Also, How do I do the after run on an engine I cant get to the carb on? Jeff

I guess you'll figure this out on your own too...


The easy way to figure out whhich way is open and close is pull the fuel line and blow into it. Yo ucan hear the air, more at full throttle and none at closed. Usually WOT is towards the front of the motor. Almost all helos are enclosed around the carb. After run? Never use it....

Depends on if you mount the ball above or below the carb on the arm

Looking at the side of the carb that has the throttle arm, turning the barrel clockwise is closing it, turning it counter clockwise is opening it.
