RE: Why did my engine shutdown inflight
I use the Wren 120 Pro with the Projet III ECU. Splendid combination. BUT. I made this mistake myself once, so this may have happened to someone else too:
1. Normal shutdown with throttle low, trim down until turbine stops.
2. New flight. I forget to raise the trim-but the turbine starts anyway with the throttle stick ...and it shuts off mysteriously while taxing. Luckily not in the air. DOH-a new start and now with trim up...
Do You use flight modes? Well, don“t include the throttle in them because...
1. Normal start with flaps up
2. On the final with full flaps-shutdown. Why? Because sometimes we taxi back with flaps still down and if the shutdown is done then, the flight mode remembers this mode for a shutdown...
