Advice Needed: How to survive a flameout in a Skymaster A-10
Gentleman,
I need the RC Jet community's collective brainpower on techniques and prevention to survive a flame out with a twin. More specifically a Skymaster A-10. I lost my first A-10 due to a single engine flameout. The plane snapped upwards abruptly, I powered down to idle and managed to level the plane out, but as I gently gave power to get to the runway, the plane snapped again...
I've heard of a few people who lost their A-10s because of a flameout. Is that just the way things are with this plane? Is this inherent to the design of the SM A-10? Does changing turbine mounting positions help?
So, I'm on airframe #2 and to be honest, my last ineptness at recovering the plane has me on edge. So I'd like some thoughts on ways to give me a fighting chance to recover from a flameout. Open to all ideas from stick inputs to technology solutions (gyros).
Thanks in advance!
DD
