Kingtech K-120 acceleration delay settings question.
So, I'm still pretty new to turbines and have never really altered any of the settings. When I originally ran my 120 I noticed that she took significantly longer to go from idle to full throttle than the K100G on my trainer; in the realm of 7 seconds.
I flew the 120 in my F-15 a few times without incident, but on the fourth flight I tried to abort a landing for the first time, something I've done a few times on my trainer, but the slow acceleration seemed to prevent me from being able to make the abort and forced me to land off the end of the runway with fairly minimal damage considering.
I checked the log from the FC1 and there didn't seem to be anything amiss with the performance of the engine. She didn't flame out and was spooling up, but I was losing altitude and running out of runway so I had to cut the throttle and hit the fail safe before risking coming down in an area that could've caused damage to property or person.
The original acceleration delay setting was 008. I just fired her up in the back yard and played with the delay setting a little and managed to get it down to 005 with significant acceleration improvement (down to about 4 seconds), 004 didn't seem to add any further improvement.
So, my questions are, should I even be changing this value, or should I return it to the original? What are other people's settings for this engine?
FWIW, I'm running diesel and am at nearly sea level.
Thanks in advance.
