Tools,  accessories,  etc.  The  following  items 
are necessary for operating the engine.

BEFORE STARTING

The choice of propeller depends on the design 
and weight of the aircraft and the type of flying 
in  which  you  will  be  engaged.  Determine  the 
best  size  and  type  after  practical 
experimentation.  As  a  starting  point,  refer  to 
the  props  listed  in  the  accompanying  table. 
Slightly  larger,  or  even  slightly  smaller,  props 
than  those  shown  in  the  table  may  be  used, 
but  remember  that  the  propeller  noise  will 
increase,  due  to  higher  rpm  or  if  a  larger-
diameter/lower-pitched prop is used.

Propellers

13x9-10, 14x6-8, 15x6

Sport

Never touch, or allow any object to come into 

contact with, the rotating propeller and do not 

crouch over the engine when it is running.

Reminder!

Warning:
Make  sure  that  the  propeller  is  well 
balanced.  An  unbalanced  propeller  and/or 
spinner  can  cause  serious  vibration  which 
may weaken parts of the airframe or affect 
the safety of the radio-controlled system.
DO NOT forget the WARNINGS and NOTES 
on  propeller  and  spinner  safety  given  on 
front pages.

Since the 75AX-BE is intended to 
be started with an electric starter, 
the  addition  of  a  spinner 
assembly  for  centering  the  starter  sleeve  is 
desirable.  Use  a  heavy-duty,  well  balanced 
spinner either of metal or plastic.

Spinner

It is suggested to use propellers which develop 
maximum  r.p.m.  of  8,500~9,500  so  that  you 
may  enjoy  pleasant  exhaust  sound  keeping  it 
low.
