0 Hours on 30 Hour engine?
I am working on a model with twin P70 engines. Based on records and current run time on the left engine, the right engine has approximately 30 hours on it. After a run of the engines at the shop, I was going to record the run time on the engines. and the right engine indicates 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds. It shows 37 runs which seems about right, but 0 Hours. Has anyone seen this before or have any recommendations?
Thanks
Thanks

RE: 0 Hours on 30 Hour engine?
Yeah, our flights are not that long. We must have swapped out an ECU along the way. Last time I checked hours, the left engine had around 3 hours and the right one had 19.5 hours. Now the left has over 13, so I assumed right would have around 30. We run about 2.5 gallons for 2 engines and run on an auxiliary tank until just before takeoff. Flights are usually around 13 minutes with a total run time of about 20 minutes per flight.
