What are the basic equipments needed for Nitro Helicopter Hobby?
A2: The basic equipments are (you need this to fly!): • Glow heater. I have 2 glow heaters. In case one is not working, I will have another one for backup. Furthermore, if the battery type is NiCd, it is better to use it until completely finished then only recharge it. • Starter and starter shaft. • Nitro Fuel (consumable) at least with 15% Nitro. 30% is better but I think it is overkill for basic learning. • Fuel Pump, to get the fuel into the Helicopter tank. These are optional field equipments, things that really helpful if you have it: • 12v battery for the starter and its charger (optional). I was using my car battery earlier, but with the dedicated battery it is very convenient. • No 8 Socket (for glow plug and blade grips) • Tool box, to put all these necessary equipment and other supporting equipments. Maintenance supporting equipments: • Locktite (blue, thread lock) • The Hex Screw driver set • Phillips screw driver • Pliers – Long nose, Gripping pliers • Lubricant for bearing
