I did the EXACT same thing, spun the fan off my first start. Jammed the thing so tight I stripped one screw removing the motor mount due to all the pressure against it. After realizing how much pressure was against the cluch/fan and all the related parts, I took the entire heli apart, including the engine to make sure nothing was bent. The only thing that was wrong was a stripped motor mount hole. SO I ordered a brand new one for about $10.00 and had here in 3 days from Helihut. I'm a new pilot, I'm gonna have enough problems, I don't need any mechanical failures!

Glad to see you are on the right track---------well done, looking good.

Here's how I start my Raptor.. First I turn on my radio then my heli. Then I will get my glow plug igniter ready (dont plug it in yet!), set your throttle to max on your transmitter, then turn the engine over for about 3 seconds or so, that should prime it good... then put the stick back to low throttle, and plug in the igniter. Start it up... That works for me...

why prime?

I don't know why you are priming the engine, it shouldn't require that. Make sure your fuel line to the carb is cut off while you are fueling it, otherwise you will be pushing fuel into the carb and flood it.

Then just release the line cutoff, add glow starter, and crank it over. It should start within a few seconds of cranking. It may be necessary to up the throttle just a little bit if you have a smooth running broken-in engine and it can idle at really low throttle.

After the first flight and the engine's warmed up, you should be able to start it by just glowing it and tapping the starter's button.

I was just thinking tho, I have an OS50. Maybe the TT's are more fussy?

oh, I should've mentioned that I use OS 32 SX-H. And that I only prime it once before the first start. I fuel it up by unpluging the fuel filter and sticking the fueler into the side that goes to the tank. The piece that goes to the carb just hangs there while I'm fueling up.

I should also mention this is my first rc nitro powered anything and I had a helluva time starting it and keeping it running the first time. Since then it's gotten alot easier to start and stuff. I think it's broken in now anyways..

Take Care
