Just replaced my old P120 with a P120SX and it only comes with kero start.

.... Untill you need another $200.00 Kero plug to replace.
I've been doing it KC's way for 2 years now, and I'm still on my first $1.00 bottle of propane and the original $10.00 Rossi plugs. Flawless starts on my P-70 & P-80 SE.

Edgar, I have a older version Falcon. I don't have the option to regulate gas flow, Only glow power, speaking of which I have tried every reasonable setting with no success. I have had a number of guys look at it as well, Puzzling..

If the plane has long line for the gas (e.g. big plane like the Eurosport), then may need to make sure not too much wind get into plane, so align 90% to the wind.Good luck

Pete, I also got the old ECU. I get Propane starts all the time using [link=http://www.dreamworksrc.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=774]this valve[/link]. Just used the lowest setting (one click only). This gives like 12-15 PSI. No restrictor needed.

I must say, Using the PM can offboard with the squeeze trigger it has started the first try since Ive been doing it that way, Maybe 5 or 6 starts now, Which is great for the Falcon but apparently the P-60 doesn't like it that much. Id like to find a happy medium.
