 Check the wing mounting for tight fit and proper attachment

 Check the canopy for tight fit and proper attachment

 When starting the engine one person (minimum) has to hold the model

Starting Procedure

If you have read and understood this entire manual, and followed its recommendations, you are

ready to start your new engine.

 Use a rubber stick to start the engine. Never use your hand or fingers!

 Insure that your receiver batteries are charged and your receiver is on

 Insure that your ignition battery(s) are charged

 Insure that your transmitter is on, and that your throttle is set to low

 Insure that your plane is properly and safely anchored (use one, two, or more people if

necessary)

 Close the choke(s)

 Switch on the ignition

 Flip the propeller until the engine "pops" (starts and stops quickly)

 Wait for the propeller to stop spinning, turn off the ignition, and open the choke(s)

 Switch the ignition back on

• 

Flip the propeller again until the engine starts

 Warm-up the engine for at least 20 seconds

 Due to the high power and torque of the engine(s) it is not recommended to open the throttle

abruptly

Precision tuning of the carburetor

The use of a tachometer is highly recommended. And, again, never adjust the needles while the

engine is running!

1. Using the tachometer tune the engine for maximum power with the high needle (H).

2. Again using the tachometer; richen the high needle (H) until the motor runs 100-200 RPM

less than the maximum RPM. Now you are tuned slightly rich on the high needle (H).

3. Let the engine run at idle for one minute. Check to see that the idle RPM remains constant.

4. If the idle RPM drops until the engine stops; the low needle (L) is too rich. Lean the low

needle (L) until a constant idle RPM is achieved.

5. Check the transition with a quick throttle advance. The engine should not sound strained
