RE: Classic Pattern Event in Chicago...2010?
Hi Tony, Sorry you won't be able to make it out, would have loved to see you fly the old style. The P7 rocks and you will be happy I believe. I am hoping to have a complete retrct solution for us in them as well that will make you guys proud. I let the glass Dirty Birdy kit go a couple of months ago. Was hard to pass up the $500 it fetched. Mike did a good job on the P7 and it is a quick build.[:D]

RE: JET CAT Failsafe for 9303 with 2.4 conv.
As stated the GSU should show the failsafe icon....."F". If it doesn't then the ECU is not seeing the failsafe. Also if you test with the engine running, the engine should advance to idle for 2 seconds before shutting down. The process described here is correct.

Hey Goose, That is actually the setup for a pair of pylons that sit under the wings to drop bombs. I can drop one at a time when the pylons are installed.

RE: Reason for Engine Shutdown Identified?
Interesting thoughts above. I will say if your ECU showed a PowerFail, you did not have a static discharge shutdown. That I am sure of. When the ECU sees a shot of static electricity and shuts down it will record a "watchdog" for the off condition. A static discharge will trigger noithing else inside the ECU. I find it odd that you would fly the model with the bypass cover removed. After better than 10,000 plus bandit flights occuring throughout the world for the last 12 years I believe it is proven the cover should be installed per the manufacturers directions. A FOD screen will not hinder air to the turbine much at all in the engine size that lives inside the Bandit. Keep the FOD screen and keep the cover on in the motor department. I personally never use a FOD screen in a bypass installation. Now for the satelite receiver location and situation. I personally would install it behind the aft engine hatch at the top of the fuselage. Definitely a far better place than directly on top of a solid carbon bypass cover. A PowerFail is a disruption in power to either the ECU or the Receiver. So lets look at the data. Where any of the remote receivers LED's blinking after the flight? If so then you saw a brown out and would have seen a disruption in power to the receiver. Would love to know what the current battery/power source configuration is for the receiver. Next question is what is the battery/power configuration for the ECU. Is there a switch installed inline on the ECU battery to the receiver? What were the info readings from the ECU after shutdown. This is that neat little blue button on the GSU, it will give you all kinds of information that can help us detect the failure. If you have started the engine since the shutdown then all the info inside the ECU is gone. If not it is still there. Would be happy to discuss this with you and help you understand more of what is going on. Call me. 217-778-7680

Anytime Goose!!! Great times no doubt! Buck, the sack and three hots are always available for you!! And be waiting for that special telephone birthday wish on November 10th!!! I never forget my Marine buddies, they are the gold standard. Next year we will have an awesome time, I promise you that. Still thinking of ways to improve and make it the most pilot freindly event that exist. Glad to hear everyone is arriving home safe and ready for the next one. Patty, get Paule out of the house and bring him back up here next weekend for some more jet flying!!!! Want to see the F-20 rock the house!!!!

RE: Illini Super Jets 2009
Well the first one is in the books. We ordered in the correct weather, UPS just didn't deliver it until today. Most guys stayed and flew to late afternoon, it was gorgeous. For all the sissy's who stayed home, buy a jacket and become a real jet pilot!![:D] We all lived a few memories of Superman 2002 when we had to hit Padukah KY and the Wallmart to get long pants and jackets!!! Ice on the runway that year. 30 pilots, some nice prizes handed out, and a few plaques, next year will be better!!!! Dave Rigotti was the big winner receiving the Spektrum Power Box unit for his next jet. Nice to take home a $900 pilot prize!!!!! The Prize table was filled with items from the following vendors: BVM Horizon Jet Central JetCat USA Robart Congrats to the award winners! I had nothing to do with it, just handed them out. See you all next year!![;)]

You will need to INH Aux 3 as well. This now enables the slider on the right hand side of the transmitter to come to life in a p-mix to do what you would like.

RE: BVM UB swept or stright fin?
This point goes way back to the Agg 2/Viper days. We all liked the performance back then of the straight fin and the original bandit proved it even more. Knifes were better and could be done at a slightly slower speed. With teh new Ultra Bandit I will say that the loadings are lower and you will find the knife will work fine with both the swept or straight fin. Choice is yours. As Ali has stated, the difference is very minimal at best. Pick which one you like the looks of.

RE: Illini Super Jets 2009
New sullivan header tanks tomorrow and the old JR Rafale will fly again!!! Looking forward to pushing it along with the two P-120 SX's at full tilt!! Couldn't have pulled it off without the help from Dave Ribbe, Chris Huhn, and David Payne. Between the beer bottles and bottle caps flying, we got the right equipment in the plane; I think. Going to bed now, haven't seen the pillow much in the last 48 hours!
