For anyone here who has the Alphasim Blackhawk...
how on earth do you shut the thing off & conversely start the damn thing?
I have looked at the manual (which conveniently excludes the numbers on the overhead diagram for the fuel shutoff) I have pulled pushed & *&%$#!
I have looked on the forums first.
Thanks in advance..
 
This works for me.
I see no real start button or lever, but it will start this way for me.
Before you start make sure you thottle is full bach or rotor will not spool up.
This is with engine off, red balls Engine mixture control forward,Eng Emer levers back, Collective Levers back.

Move Mixture control lever to rear, Engine Emer. will auto forward, rotor will start to auto spool.

Now roll Collective all the way forward and rotor will spool to full max and you will be ready to take off.

Hope this helps
 
OK.
I had been doing that. Figured there was a start sequence w/start/shut sounds & all.
Guess not.
Thanks for the answer old fart..LOL (I am approaching that status):ernae:
