Default Evojet 180vx running and starting problem

Greetings,

My name is Ziv from Israel.
I have been running my evojet 180vx on my eurosport. I have flown the plane about 20 flights so far and it ran perfectly, and I was very happy.
Here is a video of the plane:

Then problems started in my last flying day:
1. the turbine starts, runs on idle, then when i give it full throttle it would not go beyond 60-65% thrust. I shut the engine, tried again few time, and flew one more flight. this happened 3 times.
2. today I started the engine in my backyard - the engine starts, then when it reaches idle there is a strange "hum" sounds like a mechanical noise, and after few more seconds it cuts off automatically. happened 3 times. could not start the engine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ziv
