I just bought my first plane and don't really know where to begin.
The plane has an OS Max 40 FP - and was last used about 5 years ago.
I dismantled the engine and cleaned it out with den. alcohol. I have
not been able to start it yet following the instructions & starting by
hand. I am at a loss as to where to set my air bleed screw and have
heard different things about setting the needle valve on the 40 FP.
Any suggestions?

Flying - Does anyone know of any resources that I could read up on
before I try. As I said I am new to the hobby and I don't know anyone
who is does it.

Starting OS! As a begining point set the air bleed so the screw blocks
half the hole and the needle valve at 2 1/2 turns open. The air bleed
controls the idle and the more the hole is blocked the richer the mix
is. good luck with your new hobby.

Look up "Matt's Foolproof Engine Starting Technique" on http://groups.google.com.


You can't learn to fly by reading a book. Save yourself a lot of
misery, and possibly a lawsuit, by making a concerted effort to find
an R/C club in your area. I guarantee that if you try to fly the plane
by yourself, it will be out of trim, and you will not be able to
control it. It will crash, probably doing major damage to the plane
and whatever it hits. Your R/C career will be over in a heartbeat,
because you'll be so disappointed you'll never look at the plane
again.
