    So after learning on electrics an opportunity comes by to swap a Trex 450 for a Trex 600 nitro....and I grab it with both hands.
    It's an older flybarred version, but that's no drama since I learnt on a flybarred girl; and it's got a nice tight sounding Align 50 in it.
    I have experience with nitro motors in buggies and planks so I've got the gear and can tune them no worries.
    There's a push glow, but no governor.
    Any tips & tricks specific to nitros to look out for?

      Ok, I'll bite. Why sore thumbs? Flying for so long perhaps?

      Loctite - check
      Not in idle up - chicken dance anyone? That would be priceless! I will remember that one.

      Make sure you have plenty of fuel and heaps of glow plugs. Nitro helis make you fly more and +1 on the sore thumbs. Tuning is a skill but start super rich.
