RE: CO2 extinguishers
Yeesh - I called around and the Halotron is almost cost-prohibitive to refill. You almost might as well buy a new extinguisher. They said it is $40 /lb for the material itself plus labor plus internal parts. So, that would be at least $100 for a 2.5 lb extinguisher that McMaster Carr sells for under $100.

RE: CO2 extinguishers
so . . . 2 1/2 lbs of Halotron - not enough? FWIW according to MCMaster-Carr's website a 2.5lb halotron extinguisher gives a 9 second discharge and a 5lb CO2 extinguisher gives an 8 second discharge. .

RE: Couldn't get bee to start
As i posted above - no onboard tank. The gas is fed directly into the check vlave and then into the solenoid. If I get to speak to Eric on the phone, I will try to get him to clarify some of this.

RE: EasyTiger Turbine T-45 All Fiberglass including Wings!
Well, that is not the whole story . . . The other part of the story is that you were on RCGroups last year (skylineG_35) asking everybody how you could get a deal where you could get free airplanes and stuff in exchange for promoting a vendor. Right after that, you somehow became Curtis' biggest fanboy. So, if builttocrash is not one of Curtis' many alter-egos then he is just a shill for Curtis . . . which is just as bad.

It was a silver color Powermax bottle and we held it vertical. I can't say whether that yielded liquid or gas.

He is a sociopath behind his keyboard and leaves a long trail of ripped off and dissatisfied customers in his wake that is perhaps only rivaled by Morris at Ductedfans.com. The fact that somebody has to create countless online alter-ego to sell his goods should tell you all you need to know. That is not how reputable merchants operate.

I dunno if I am working too hard, but I am learning and having fun with it. That valve sounds like the way to go. I will swing by the Home Depot this weekend for the parts. Thank you for the info on it.

RE: Couldn't get bee to start
UPDATE: My buddy came over this afternoon. We were unable to get the motor to start on propane using the regulated valve - even with the gas set @ 100% in the ECU. We tried my buddy's PowerMax bottle and the gas set at 30% and it started right away. In fact, I believe that % was probably even too high because on the second attemp it did not start and there was a strong smell of powermax. We waited a second and restarted and the engine lit off without adding any extra gas. So . . . not sure where this leaves me. Seems like I either have to go with powermax or make an unregulated valve for the propane. Steve

Yeah, we pulled it out and then pulled it out some more. It was hanging down as far as it would go. I don't think that was the culprit by the end.
