... will the current Xicoy telemetry work on the new ECU or you will have new telemetry sensor....

On the "re-start" how does it gauge whether there has been a fuel leak that stopped the turbine, before it restarts the fuel pump and sprays fuel over a potentially hot engine with no way of monitoring it (with eyes on the ground) I know this has been shown on a couple of engines, I personally think its one of those crazy potentially dangerous 'beer - bottle of wine' thought ideas. I guess I'd need to know more info.
There are so many reasons why a turbine might stop and people flying around with a mind-set that the turbine will restart and save the day, just sounds like a guaranteed crash because it doesn't!
Without knowing the software I guess its safely linked to rpm (so if the turbine seizes, it won't try to restart)??
Way too many 'what ifs' for me!

I think this trendy restart feature will only be effective in saving a very few flame outs, such as good plumbing, with a bubble lodged and then released, typically happens in a new jet, or a remaiden. The restart is obviously not a substitute of sorting out fuel delivery problem.

I agree and I left that feedback on Facebook too. As it sounds now, if the engine seizes you will still be able to control the flame thrower. 
They would need a way to figure out a sensor failure from a real mechanical failure.
I do welcome new technology though.

Thank you all very much for looking into our new development as well as your comments and suggestions. More of that are greatly appreciated and encouraged, as we may still be able to implement into our new system.
Meanwhile, we like to thank Gaspar for his support and supply of Xicoy system which had been most reliable and effective for the past seven years of our productions. I believe we will still be using Xicoy for a certain models of our engines.
Regards,
Barry

The restart will only progress given appropriate data, ie. delta in EGT and RPM. It will also time itself off within seconds depends on the model of engine.

Thanks for the answer

One of the reasons why I got the FC1 for the Xicoy ECUs on my engines was that it came with an integrated airspeed indicator (less pitot tube). Will the new Kingtech ECU/telemetry have the same function?

When (God, allah, buddha, Tom Cruise, etc.. NOT willing) your jet goes down, it has to be procedure to turn your engine off.
As a matter of fact, once your jet is deemed non-recoverable, the engine should be shut down so as to minimize fire danger anyways.
Barry, this sounds really exciting!

Not a restart but it would try to keep the engine going? I'ts important to catch all these things without being irritated at us pointing at them.
I welcome technology, but some of the new tech needs tweaking and input.

Barry, when will these ECU`s be going into the engine boxes? Obviously there are engines still at kingtech that are new but have the older ecu`s, when will the new ecu`s be put into the boxes for shipping?

Here's a video of a test flight by a friend of mine in Taiwan
