Thunder Tiger Raptors 30-90 - Imperio > Stupid question

Ok I got a (new to me) raptor 50, tore it all down checked everything out. Put it all back together and am setting up the radio and I forgot to notice which way WOT is and I don't want any surprise on first start up. My 61 WC is CW and that's how I set it up last night

I do that kind of stuff all the time. It is a wonder i can put a helicotper together and fly it at all! I usually check for lateral movement of the barrel. Since most engines that I fly use that type of movement for low-end mixture control, it makes it easy. I'm not sure about the engine in your 50, but most of mine move so that high throttle moves out, so to pull the spraybar away from the low end needle. I think that is how it goes, but I may have it backwards.

The only stupid question is the one that is never asked....especially in this hobby! On the 32, the carb barrel rotates counter-clockwise and moves out from the carb when applying throttle.

Another way to remember is that the throttle works the same way as most screws - right-tight (closed throttle) left-loose (open throttle)

Like a Motorcycle throttle

I remember it by pretending that the carb lever is a motorcycle throttle. Roll back to open (CCW), roll forward to close (CW). That is an easy one to remember. Kinda like the "right hand rule" in physics.

Flys great, The clutch is a little tight (put in a Concept 60 liner) Flew a couple of tanks even the tracking was right on.
