Thread: What needed to get started with a Trex700n?

Your "plan B":
You can shut down a nitro engine by blocking the exhaust (there's a fat silicon tube at the end of the muffler where the hot gases come out. Squeeze it shut and it will lose power within a fraction of a second, and stop after one second or two). Don't do it regularly as it's hard on the bearings.

And, practise your autos in the sim. Sooner or later you'll need them (busted plug, out of fuel, or the favourite of OS owners, "hole in the piston" ...)

Ive had that all happen apart from the hole in the piston. The last thing that happened was running out of fuel at 100ft! lol

yea... I know, I get longer flight times if I refuel between flights.
Sounds straightforward, but I need a reminder, occasionally...
