I have TT Pro 46 engine in my beaver 40 with 10x8 prop. The hs needle is at 2 turns from fully closed position. Please advice if the needle setting is ok.
Thanks
Arun
yes its ok
If it is the first tank for break-in, no harm in opening a bit more, like 3 turns, unless you feel it is flooding the engine.
Thanks Saikat and Anwarji. I am using synthetic fuel with 5% Nitro. The breakin process is over and I am looking forward to maiden her. As this is my first flight I am really confused about the power required for the flight. I want to ensure that the model is not under powered.
Hope you are flying on a field with a good/long runway... and if it has enough power to take off, it should pretty much fly :)
Most people fly at mid-throttle (and other lower/higher values), and not at the max throttle/power of the engine, so this should not be a huge concern (unless you don't find enough power even to take off).
Thanks Anwarji.
I am worried about takeoff only as this is my first flight. I suppose the throttle has to be fully opened during takeoffs.
After long search I have come across a big field nearby and hopefully maidening the beaver tomorrow morning.
Will be posting the video here.
Thanks
Arun
Its raining heavily here in Coimbatore. Wonder if I will be able to maiden my beaver tomorrow.
