Dan, check out www.fwthunderbirds.org that is the club site. We actually have a new field (view of lake not near as sightly) which is not open yet. It is in Mustang Park just south and on the other side of the lake.

F-16 1/8 Military Cockpit?
Any known that will fit a Tam F-sickteen? Tam is out and probably can't get any more - would prefer a decent amount of detail and a pilot. Does anyone know if the skymaster one will fit? TIA BTW.... if anyone has one laying around.....?

RE: Couldn't get bee to start
This has nothing to do with the thermocouple........ or a wren..... although a lovely brand..... Don't get distracted, do talk to Eric but I would bet my dog and cat that engine is gonna start just fine with your valve opened all the way creep the % up by 5 or 10 each time.

RE: Couldn't get bee to start
Steve, that valve works fine with Jet Central motors as does an unregulated one. Open yours all the way for a start. Don't get distracted that bee will start next time you try with enough propane!

RE: Couldn't get bee to start
you bet - give me a shout if you want to give it a try 817-360-5697 - I'm just watching the cowboys get spanked by green bay ;) The internals with regard to the propane sticks are very different on Jetcat than Jet Central lending to different starting personalities. The Jet Central engines only have a single propane stick which can make it a little different in response to propane amounts *something else I just thought of re-reading your posts..... you really want to test the glow plug under the ECU power instead of a seperate glow driver so you can see how it is glowing with the startup supplied voltage. The glowdriver test tells you the plug is good but nothing about how it is glowing during the startup procedure. So, take the glow plug out, hold the ground wire/washer on it and initiate a start (no propane connected) and see what the plug is doing. This is the most real-world way to test the glow strength - there is a "glow test" in the menu but it is not cycling the starter motor during that test and so it is not neccessarily what the propane in encountering inside the can. All that paragraph ^ is sorta moot though because I'd bet my dog that the propane is not enough. V Roger that, don't wanna go at it without a fire can!

RE: Couldn't get bee to start
doesn't really matter how many times you let it cycle but if it doesn't light right away something is not set optimally - there is no need for it to keep trying - something needs to be changed if that is happening

RE: Couldn't get bee to start
When I was running straight propane (green bottle) I was at 100% Gas using the dreamworks valve going through the setup as per manual - I never had to hold it upside down but not much propane gets through that filter and restrictor especially through a regulated valve. If you want to see if it will light on propane (and then cancel the start) I will walk you through it by phone

RE: Couldn't get bee to start
gas definately too low if you saw the plug glow and started at 10% you can put your glow percentage back down so you don't blow anymore plugs and just go up by 10% each start

RE: Couldn't get bee to start
The other thing is: what propane are you using? Powermax or green bottle straight propane?

RE: Couldn't get bee to start
Steve, Keep going up on the propane... of the 5 JC engines I have owned they all used different settings. One of my superbees started on 10% gas and the other wouldn't even think about lighting on anything below 80%... go up slowly and you're fine. Did you check the plug outside of the can?
