RC_MAN,

I personally use a large clean jar with fresh fuel that is mixed with turbine oil and loop the pump to the jar to break in a new fuel pump. (always use an inline filter) I have read that some guys use the method that you are referring too, but I have never tried it myself. I'm sure someone that has actually used the water method will give you some input??

Guys I am still flying my jetcats and RTI motors with great success as well. I just think it is wonderful to have choices of working engines. Maybe the future is better pricing on all engines.

Thank you all for your feedback and kindest support, Dirk and I are looking forward of working with you for years to come.

Dirk, should the fuel pumps be "broken in"? Is that necessary or are they ready to run out of the box when one buys a Kingtech?

marquisvns

Hi Shaz, they are plug an play right out of the box. Especially if a new pump is holding the engine's idle well, you could rest assure that it will just keep on getting better. On the other hand, if the idle does fluctuate (say more than +-2000rpm), please let us know and we'll help to troubleshoot and provide a solution and possibly replacement of the pump. So far, I don't remember having to replace an MTH pump from Austria.

Regards,
Barry

This just came in from Ingo from Modell Technik Hausl in reference to the above subject,

"Normally it's not necessary to break-in the motor. We run every pump for 30 min in kerosine + 5% turbine oil before we test and send it. If your customers wants to run the pump please use kerosine and oil, water will damage the pump." Best regards, Ingo

Guys, which way do the solenoids hook up on the "new" (I assume) ECU? There are no polarity markings on the ECU itself and no mention in the manual. Red (+) wire or black (-) wire closest to the green multiplex plug?

Ryan,

This is our new ECU and the manuel has not been updated yet. You want the Red wire inboard closest to the Green plug and the black to the outboard side. Feel free to call or email me if you have any other questions.

Guys you are mixing up the pump and the motor that runs the pump, they are two separate things.

If you want to run in your pump then it should only be done with your normal jet fuel, using a jar to continually cycle the fuel through a filter with 1-3v powering the pump (slower the better) most people rig up a 1.5v battery if they dont have a PSU.

The water method is ONLY for the motor itself, this is to bed in the brushes and a practise commonly used by guys who race electric model cars (before they went brushless).

What you do is submerse your motor into a jar of water (should still have your pump pipes connected trough the jar of kero.
The motor will work fine in the water. Only needs to be in there for a minute or two.

I had lots of problems with a wren 54 not having a consistent idle, sometimes after landing it could be 6 or 8000rpm too high, I was about to fit a new pump but decided to try the water method. The water went black very quick, I ran it like that for about two minutes then again in clean water. Problem was cured and Pump has done a further 10hrs todate with no issues.

And this is why I don't come to the jets forums any more, boringggggg

I believe 4 or 5 out of the 6 Jet World Masters team members use Kintech for their competition birds, me being one of them. I just got a new K210 for weight and power advantages over most of the other competition. The turbine weighs exactly 4 lbs with the mounting bracket and internal solinoids attached. They are great turbines and I own three of them.

Thank you moderators for cleaning this thread, I now have to change my comments.

As far as I know Kingtech turbines have the best services here in the USA and I wouldn't hesitate a second to get one or two or three I know Berry gives his customers top class services.

Thanks a lot. I'll look into it further. Do you have a kingtech engine Steve?
