RE: C-ARF Flash Build Thread for All Flash's being built this winter
the Flash sits with a slight negative AOA and full thrust pushes the nose down during the takeoff roll, this makes it hard to rotate if you're waiting till flying speed to put in back elevator.

RE: C-ARF Flash Build Thread for All Flash's being built this winter
the live hinging requires more down then up because the aileron gets shorter as it's deflected downward.

RE: C-ARF Flash Build Thread for All Flash's being built this winter
[quote]ORIGINAL: ddlstang Remember weather conditions play a major role. On the test stand we have seen huge losses in thrust. The plane drag coefficeint will alos go up with less than ideal conditions. The high 200's are very possible in the right conditions with a 140/160 class turbine. [/quote] while i agree that weather conditions do play a roll on both, they are inverse of one another, denser air provides more thrust, but it also produces more drag so you're gonna have to try some other magic to get those numbers.

RE: Running P80SE without receiver?
On the manual shut down, it's instant (no rpm rise) but has cooling.

No idea why it's not in current manuals. When I get back home I'll upload you the full manual opperation directions as I'm sure I've still got them somewhere.

RE: Running P80SE without receiver?
The directions are (or at least were) in the manual. You start and shut down the same way with the manual and ignition button. Use + and - along with the manual key to increase/decrease rpm.

RE: FlyEagle EV5U gear door Multifunction valve HELP
while it may not be how it's actually designed to work it's a pretty good failsafe IMO, the gear doors cycling is a good way of saying 'hey dumbass, you got the gear switch in the UP position' rather then just dumping the gear because you had the switch in the wrong position when you powered on.

RE: Info from Data Terminal after a shutdown
every install I've ever had the pump was horizontally mounted and I've never had a single issue. if you're pump is working now after the jolt by the LiPo then chances are you had some FOD in the pump that was impeding its ability to turn at normal operation voltages. if it's a fairly new pump, it's not a bad idea to hook a AA cell battery to the pump and let it circulate fuel in a container till that battery is discharged, it 'breaks in' the pump.

RE: K 170 Gas start issue
check the connections (clean them even), if you're not getting proper indication of EGT after that the temp probe is the next step in the chain.

RE: K 170 Gas start issue
it requires a 50ºC rise in temp for the ECU to register 'Ignition' this is a rise above indicated during the initiation of the start, not just reach 50ºC

RE: K 170 Gas start issue
with all fuel and propane OFF, use a lighter and pass the flame over the temp probe inside the tail cone, see if you get a proper indication of temp on the HDT.

RE: C-ARF Ultra Flash build Thread + Video
Doug, i tucked a 170 in my classic, fully bypassed w/ fod screen and while there is minimal space around the turbine it runs great, no overheating problems. at top speed it does cause the bypass to make a sound (a deep roar) but no problems from it.

I'm at less then 300' ASL and have acceleration delay set at 3 with no problems. i've had it as low as 1 but got some sputter during high speed spooling in flight, no problems at all at low speed/bench test.

[quote]ORIGINAL: Dblex Not really, at sea level I was having a hard time starting mine, she is cranked up to 2.1 on the glow and I can kill a plug pretty quick [/quote] I've never had a problem starting any propane turbine at 280' ASL, plugs last yrs, if you're blowing them you've got too high a voltage (different plugs use different voltages) or you're damaging them pulling the coil out (they need to be preheated first).

RE: Bad Fuel?
their truck should be sumped daily just like the holding tanks and you shouldn't of got any contaminants out of it, not that every facility does it by the book, but they should do it often enough at even the most backwoods FBO that it's not a problem. if you can see contaminants, filter it out.
