Hey Andy,
I am just about to start my K80E and look forward to your help as well. This is the 1st Turbine in New Delhi, India and I am at a loss for any help.
The K80E is mounted on a Feibao Velox and has stock pump/ valves etc. The whole set was pre-owned but done only 3 flights. The ECU shows 113 min. running.
I have accomplished the following so far:
- All Plumbing checked in the tank and UAT.
- The HDT connected to the ECU and ECU powered by a 2S Lipo
- Futaba 6014 Rx connected to the ECU on Ch. 3 and linked to a 10C Tx. Throttle reversed on the Tx.
- ECU and Tx calibrated - stick up trim up. stick down trim up and both down.
- using test menu I have checked all the elements of the engine.
- Jet 1A ATF with 5% turbine oil mixed and ready.
Questions:
- Are the parameters mentioned in the manual Ok ?
- I have reduced the Plug parameter from 40 to 30 after reading on the forum here.
- The pump Pw parameter is entered as 500 instead of the 1020 as mentioned in the manual. It is possible that this was changed by the original owner after running the engine few times.
I will wait for your reply before I start the engine. Please mention any safe guards i need to check before starting.
