Cheetah SE "To Idle Error"
Hi Guys.I sent you an E-Mail but thought I would post this here too in case you saw this first. I have 6 flights on my new Jet that has my bran new Cheetah SE for power. The engine once running, has been an awesome running motor! The problem I am having is starting it. I continue to get failed starts where the turbine starts to run but does not switchover and the message displayed is "To Idle Error". Rich Miller was assisting me and following the instructions in the manual we increased the fuel ramp from the factory setting of 13 to 16. I had two more starts that were ok then the problem started again. I don't have any flames during startup so I then increased it to 18 then 20. The problem still exists. I will get 2-3 failed starts before the turbine will run. We also slowly increase the initial pump voltage from the factory setting of 6 to 8 then 10. Can you tell me what the problem is and how I can fix it?Thanks,Dom

As for the to idle error that means that your turbine is not getting enough fuel during the ramping stage and it needs to be raised in the start menu which is the fuel ramp. if you get a ignition error or pre heat then you need to raise the ign pw.
Hope this helps
