Default RE: ATJ Turbines


ORIGINAL: hotspot 01

It's gone quiet on the Atj thread so a little info just completed 124 flights on a two year old 120-ti and it's performing well.
Still doing alright? What's your typical EGT?
I finally got to fly mine (3 times for now) after a couple of issues (kerostart failed after 5 cycles, exhaust cone leaked flame, main cover still leaks over the diffuser...).
This is the graph of a flight on a graupner hotspot:


and this is the flight

I think it's running quite hot and the acceleration time is still quite slow, but other than that it seems fine.
We'll see after a few runs, too early to say!
