Tips
Futaba transmitter Heavy Duty Gimbal springs P/N FUTM3640 or Tower Hobbies Stock # LXAEM7 ($1.09)
When placing "sticky" decals spray Windex on the area and carefully place the decal where it is desired. Then use some kind of squeegee device like a credit card to remove bubbles by starting at the middle and working outwards slowly. Let dry over night.
Need a larger nose cone for your starter, for the larger prop spinners? Sullivan has one which is not listed in their catalog. It is designed for the Megatron starter but will also fit the Dynatron starter--you need to file a flat spot on the starter shaft.
The P/N is S981011651 and includes the silicon rubber adapter, just specify either S636 or S637. The S636 is for spinners 2 3/4 to 4 1/2 inches and the S637 is for spinners 3 1/2 to 6 inches. See Sullivan Products and click on Starter Accessories.
Fuel line not as tight on the nipple? Cut a 1/4 inch piece of tubing and slip it over the end of the fuel line. The trick is to use a small pair of needle node pliers. Slip the cut piece of tubing over the closed pliers and then open the pliers enough to slide the fuel line in between the pliers. Now slide the cut piece onto the fuel line. This is better than clamps. Thanks to Joe P. for the tip.
