Helpful Hints
Air-Bleed Screws
When adjusting
air-bleed carburetors (the ones with the little hole in the front), a good rule to
remember is the word "richen". Split this word in half (rich-en),
and when you want the carburetor rich, turn the screw in. Of course leaning
the carburetor would be turning the screw out.
Transmitter Neck
Straps
If you use a neck
strap on your transmitter, beware of getting it caught in a rotating propeller! Some
people leave the strap around their neck and detach the transmitter while starting
engines. This is a perfect way for it to get caught in the prop, especially if you start
your planes on the ground rather than a stand or table. Also, having the transmitter
nearby while starting an engine is potentially a hazard. When you pick up the transmitter
make sure the strap doesn't swing into the prop.
