    Starting Your Plane by Yourself, 60ccc or Larger

    I've only started the plane with a setup that left it free to roll back. I learned quickly to be aware of the plane coming off its retention, holdbacks or straps, prior to every single flip. I would really like to try one of those mechanical units though! :cheers: :please-ban: Full disclosure...

    Starting Your Plane by Yourself, 60ccc or Larger

    You know I had a dead stick, landed, and tried restarting it for about 30 flips to no avail. So I bring the plane over (new plane) and start taking the cowl off. What do I find, but the servo box for the throttle linkage had separated at the top with the servo free floating on the linkage. So...

    Weighing your plane.

    I don't consider weight to be a considerable variable with most planes being ARFs with common power systems and accessories.

    Starting Your Plane by Yourself, 60ccc or Larger

    I forgot to add I also learned from guys like terry to pull the plane off the holdbacks with my calves before I run it up.

    Starting Your Plane by Yourself, 60ccc or Larger

    As a newby, I have learned to use a restraint and pull my plane firmly against it before each flip. Your flips should be relatively effortless and fluid. I move my hand in a straight line well away from the edge of the prop disc. With gloves, I usually smack the front of the cowl (35cc) so I use...

    Throttle weirdness

    +1 If you do run a BEC on a plane with a series connection, there's nothing gained by not using the low side battery to drop the voltage into the BEC.

    Hi CB, thanks for the tip- though laziness is the only thing stopping me from changing it.

    I like the crowd you find on a GS focused site. I don't like my avatar. I politely request more videos. I know it must be a lot of work but I really appreciate them. Thanks!

    3DHS and Extreme Flight Merger?

    SupaTim has helped me a ton getting my new plane together, and he is very competitively priced. The 3-Line tank is great.

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    AltitudeHobbies sent me FW updates for both my 85 and 120HV escs. I seem to have been experiencing a similar spooling condition (25 flights so far) with my 120 as discussed by the OP, and after stumbling across this thread decided to give the update a whirl. No known issues with the 85A...

    Thanks for sharing. Glad the pilot was able to participate in the recovery, and most of all glad that it sounds like there were no injuries or worse as a result of the incident or rebuild process.
