Jose,

I have been meaning to give you a call, but work has had other ideas for me.... Lol.

Between you and Doug Boyle I think we have covered all possible reasons for the shut down. I am confident that we have found the problem and I have taken all measures to correct any possible future issues.

My jeti was as you mentioned, max travels were still above 100% and end points were set to %100. So now both are set to %100 and I also made some other changes that Doug suggested.

The crash was not a catastrophic crash and I have since run the turbine on a test bench and everything is normal. There was no debris in the intake track and the fuel tanks were all still intact after the crash. Main compressor blades have no signs of damage or even any ware on the leading edge of the blades. My main concern was electronics, and I'm pretty darn sure it was something in the set up.

So I will install the turbine in my new airframe and give it a good shake down run before I fly it again. Thanks again Jose.

Louis
