190pilot.. Yes the radio and ECU have been mated. The only component I can't see or get to right now is the propane valve. I will take everything apart this evening and check it. Other than that...I've gone over everything several times.

Interesting....I have a new Super 8 Futaba and it comes out of the box ready for a helicopter. I had to change the settings for every plane I have...it now has six planes on it. Also, the transmitter has to be changed to the 7 channel setting for the receivers I have...otherwise they won't work. But I doubt all this has something to do with the turbine not starting.

My turbine requires Futaba radios to reverse the throttle channel before use...that has been done. The frustrating thing is this turbine has been refreshed at the factory...so naturally I expect it to be running with no issues.

More to come...
