What glow plug do I need

[Taz07733]

Hi guys I'm new to the world of rc heli's and I've just brought a second hand hirobo sceadu 30 it all seems in good shape with gyro and radio gear but that's all ....also it has no glow plug can anyone enlighten me to which one it needs And which glow starter I need

thanks in advance dave

shove an os #8 init that should do the trick nomatter what fuel u run in it. o.s no.8 is an all round performer and should be perfect for what you need

Same as previous comment , I always use the OS no.8 plug and I have never had any problems.

Thanks for the advice got my plug . Charger . And starter yesterday but unsure what mixture of fuel to buy really looking forward to learning how to fly it now

thanks dave

I would use a heli fuel 15-20% nitro any brand will be fine

have you flown b4? or at least used a sim? if no please make sure you get heli checked (if you don't know how to your self but im sure you've done your home work) if not fire a few q's here all the best terry

Welcome

Do you know what? Do not start that thing up until someone who knows the score has a good look over it and is with you.

A nitro on a hot-start is not at all funny. Some serious power and potential to maim.

Join a club is the best advice ever - and often - given on this forum.

Good luck and welcome to the hobby.

Thanks again guys I'm a complete noob I was tempted just to start it to make sure it works ok but I'm quite attached to my extremities so I will seek advice all looks in fantastic condition though aparantly it only ever had a setup flight

all the best dave

theres a club on the other side of Northampton NN7 1EP close to that post code called mk heli club and they are all a cracking bunch there and would imagine they would be more than willing to help. its about 40 mins away but there could be some 1 local to you that could help.

I would help you but quite far away but if you wanna day trip im more than willing to pass on what knowledge I have and teach you how to test and set up but fly sim or an mcpx will help

p.s I don't recommend you fire it up and if you do hold on tight to the head do not let go and have the blades removed (but it will be totally pointless no matter how much you want to your local shop might fire it up for you if you really desperado

[Taz07733]

Thanks for that I will check it out ......... You've probably saved me a trip to a&e lol

Apart from the dangers mentioned a hot start if you model is not setup correctly can burn your clutch out too.
