Starting Your Plane by Yourself, 60ccc or Larger
Personally, I don't like doing more than a quick blast (1-2 seconds) of full throttle on my 150.....and that is with me or a buddy standing in front of the stabs. Doing that against foam wrapped pipes will dent the leading edges. If I need to do more than that I'll have the wings against pads...- Pistolera

Starting Your Plane by Yourself, 60ccc or Larger
Another thing I see way too often is folks setting their transmitter on the ground beside them while they swing the prop....or even out of reach!!!! THEN....kneeling on the ground while they prop the thing!!!!!! :eek: To me that is a disaster waiting to happen. I have mine on my neck strap...- Pistolera

Name this ARESTI figure
If ya'll are talking about the rolls....it comes from full scale notations and means 2/4ths of a 4 point roll, and 4/8ths of an 8 point roll. At least that's my take on it as we used to write them like that. As for the figure itself I've called them a bow tie or a double sharks tooth.- Pistolera

Glad your beauty flew and the wing didn't fall off :LOL_gif:. What's a little covering, eh!!! Had that happen on the maiden of my old 3DHS Extra after covering.....it flew well enough to land. At least it was before the graphics were on!- Pistolera

Rusty...the Biela 26x12 is a great prop on the 120! 27x12 would be good on a piped 120.- Pistolera

The Wolverine is a nice switch. Have that in my 42% Raven...Deans in and out as well. Bullet proof and batt share/failsafe built in. Of course, it is not a hidden switch, but saw one somewhere that had the face plate flush mounted and looked great! Also easy to charge via the switch and/or...- Pistolera
