@HeRacesTheSun Call it a strange habit from running cars but I'd rather set the idle with a screw on the carb and shut the engine off by cutting the fuel flow. I would merely use the trim as a fast idle, which is how I run my cars, instead of a kill switch.
Set it with the throttle trim on the radio. You'll need to play with the throttle linkage (shorter/longer) to get it right. Get the idle you want at med or high trim, then make sure that you can shut the engine off when the trim is all the way down. Happy idleing !!
Mind if I ask how it flies with the .52 four stroke in it? I noticed in the instructions that recommended engines are .40 to .50 2 strokes or a .52 Four stroke. I was expecting a much larger figure for the four stroke engine requirements than that.
I don't want to be left on a limb after take-off from lack of power to maintain the climb out.
