What needed to get started with a Trex700n?

700 nitros are for sale all the time. Take a look on here and BMFA if you are still after one.

After pick up was already arranged, the seller decided not to sale it any more...

Nice! Cheers!

I hope I can avoid most of those situations at least the first day...

I´ve tried autos but it seems I stop the blades too much and is so easy to brake the tail pinion gear... On the sim is much easier.

[GravityKills]

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

By all means, get some help.

There are some experiences you'd rather avoid (engine doesn't start, plug gets wet, hydrolock, or then it hot starts).

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

I normally fly in the field that is close to the marina in Hamble but I won´t be able to fly nitro there...

I sometimes fly in the afternoon now that the sun stays out til later. PM whenever you guys meet.

[discoferret]

I´ll take your word, Thanks! I´m sure I´ll need it...

I live in Netley, very close to Southampton by the toll bridge. Where do you normally fly at?

I´m getting the heli next Monday. I was actually after electric (I normally fly a Trex500) but some how ended up with a Nitro... so now I don´t even know what I need to get it running...

Oh ok my mother lives in Netley. I fly at a field next to the M271 in Redbridge. I went from electric to Nitro and love it and plus you can fly all day long. You will have to meet up with us sometime.

Ok, thats why the proper ones have the one-way bearing... I see

Where abouts in Southampton are you from? I live near the hospital and if you need any help let me know. I fly a Velo 50 with an OS55. Im still quit new to nitro but I will try my best to help you if you get stuck on any thing.

[GIXERMAN]

only problem is they normally try spitting out the starter shaft once there going

[GIXERMAN]

yes by using the plane rubber you have
