SD card for Cheetah 160 SE?
 
The manual suggests using a 512mb micro SD card. The manual does not suggest a Format.
That is a tiny capacity! I have 2GB and a 32GB micro SD cards I could use. I guess I'll use the 2GB card. It is formatted to FAT32. Hopefully that is correct. I intend to leave the card in there to facilitate proper servicing, either routine or in case of failure. I'll set it to "download last flight" in parameters. I hope that means it will always overwrite and give me data for the last flight made. If I have to make this choice before every flight I will probably not use this feature often!
Any advice would be appreciated.

Not sure how old that engine is, it may have been produced when 2 gig was large and 32 gig was unheard of.

Hello husafreak
2GB is perfect

Thanks Juan. I put the 2 GB card in this morning. Unfortunately you may get to see it soon :(
I got 6 great flights in today but when I tried for a seventh my HDT would not go past the INITIALIZING screen. You may recall when this engine was brand new it would not INITIALIZE and I had to return it to you for servicing before it could be run for the first time. On the second flight it flamed out due to (I believe) air bubbles from a new UAT. My fault. I took over a year to repair the jet (BVM F-16) and in the last two weeks made 12 flights. So now I have 14 flights on the turbine and the problem is back. To say I am bummed out would be an understatement... The BVM PNP F-16 and your Cheetah SE 160 is a match made n heaven! I will contact Jose now and see what he wants me to do.

Jose told me it is safe to start the Cheetah 160SE without the HDT and it runs fine. I did another 6 flights yesterday. Luckily another flier at the field had his HDT and it worked fine on my turbine so I only need to replace the HDT.
