Douglas Wheelhouse 1 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hi to all, Just building peter millers Ballerina & I see that he has changed the throttle arm position from bottom to top operation, is this a simple thing to do? Thank you , Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engine Doctor Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hello Douglas . If you mean turning the throttle arm 180 degrees then yes its very simple . You need a small allen key to loosen the set screw on the center mounting. turn the arm and re-tighten . Job done . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Wheelhouse 1 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hi Peter, The throttle linkage works a treat Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C. Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hi Douglas I have a ASP 52 FS in mine plenty of power for big manouvers. Started with 11×7 prop but have now changed to 12×6 just to help slow the model down for landing , my fault realy as I tend to set the slow running rpm a bit too high. Most of the flight is at half throttle and i use the throttle through the manouvers , it's just the way I like to fly. You have made a great choice in model/engine combination, let us know how you get on 👍 Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Wheelhouse 1 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hi Paul, Thanks for that. This is my second Ballerina, the first had a SC46 two stroke, it flew great . A fellow clubmate also liked it & kept on so I let him have it. The wings & tail feathers all built & covered, fus just needs cowling carving up, covering then putting all together. Did you use Peter Millers method of throttle linkage as shown in the build blog? works fine Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C. Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I used plastic snake for the throttle, only because I had then in my stock. Always try to avoid soldering if at all possible as I am rubbish at it and never know when I have a dry joint 😨 Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
