Tools, accessories, etc. The following items
are necessary for operating the engine.
BEFORE STARTING
The choice of propeller depends on the design
and weight of the aircraft and the type of flying
in which you will be engaged.
Determine the best size and type after
practical experimentation. As a starting point,
refer to the props listed in the accompanying
table. Slightly larger, or even slightly smaller,
Propellers
12x6, 13x6-7, 14x6 SIZE(DxP)
props than those shown in the table may be
used, but remember that the propeller noise
will increase, due to higher rpm or if a larger-
diameter/lower-pitched prop is used.
Never touch, or allow any object to come into
contact with, the rotating propeller and do not
crouch over the engine when it is running.
Reminder!
Warning:
Make sure that the propeller is well
balanced. An unbalanced propeller and/or
spinner can cause serious vibration which
may weaken parts of the airframe or affect
the safety of the radio-controlled system.
DO NOT forget the WARNINGS and NOTES
on propeller and spinner safety given on
front pages.
Since the 65AX is intended to be
started with an electric starter, the
addition of a spinner assembly for
centering the starter sleeve is desirable. Use a
heavy-duty, well balanced spinner either of
metal or plastic.
