Looks like you're far enough along to start it and set up your idle.

al done for now till i get cyclics and blades. ive got enough in paypal pending funds to buy cyclics and will scrounge up enough for blades. i think the tail is ready to fly but weshall see on spool up still need to adjust for a driftless rate mode hover but as is she should easily fly hh pics of throttle. 0 50 100. i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu339/Evan03_photo/2011-11-06101350.jpg[/IMG]curious what a good throttle curve to start with is 60-70% at half stick??

80% or more is OK on throttle end points.
50% trim should open the throttle about 1/8 inch.
NO BLADES for the first start and always always always LOOK at the throttle link before you crank it. Mark idle on the carb with a Sharpie and always check that twice.
Almost all of us get a hot start in the beginning but it would be nice if you never do. It's scary and costly sometimes.Almost always kills the clutch liner.
One hand gripping the head TIGHT when you crank it. If it never starts spooling up,you can hold the blades back. If it gets a second to spool up before you get a hold on it...it's too late and it will kick your a$$ and bust up the heli bad.

first idle in the driveway no blades or head or heck even cyclic servos. i got interupted. but from what i can tell shes running slobbering rich at 1.5 turns out but it sounds good to me. idleing at trim tab centerd at half hatch. its not as loud as i thought it would be. i dount think you can tell from the vid but at about 50% throttle its pukeing out tons of fuel. i like it.
i damn near freaked out with these strangers walking up to me with my 600 running

You won't be able to tell rich from lean without a load on it. Need blades and at least hover pitch.
