        and you will never get a hot start
        always carry the model out with Throttle Hold on
        it works and its safe and you never get that brown trouser moment if it starts full throttle

        Didn't know I could do that. Thanks , it shouldn't happen again ......I hope

          I don't understand why clubs don't run a 'ticket' style system for flying when there's so much aggression and politics caused by who flies when. In pubs, when there is a busy pool table, people put their names up on the blackboard and wait their turn.

          It's such a shame that people are so ugly toward one another in these situations. Flying's flying at the end of the day, and there really shouldn't be any need for childish bullying.

          I really enjoy the fact that at the club I fly at (Cuffley) there is no issue with the flightline at the moment. We have some plane only members, some heli only and some mixed, but people take their turns and show respect for one another. Perhaps it's just a result of it being a relatively new club, so people are being well behaved. Time will tell!

            the line will close in, the engine will run lean and go bang
            i blew a c spec up doing auto after auto on a hot day (heli only site)

              Or walk down to the end of the field (a surprisingly long way) and muck about there...

              Common sense, and a good 'airspace to flyers' ratio - which is common sense too...
