Hey.
My battle is still on. After a rebuilding and move the fuel pump back beside the turbine, move all the cable to the turbine on one side and all to the receiver on the other side. But in the front this airframe is narrow.Change the ECU battery pack.
Put on noise ferrite ring on the throttle cable and on the cable from the ECU battery pack and the two longest servo cable. And put on 3 noise condenser on the fuel pump.
I also get a reply from the factory that make this turbine, and the advice was change ECU battery, and check out the cockpit panel after any loose connection. And look after a burn out LED light.
And this ECU and turbine is well know to be very good protection to any RF-Noise.
So today was the day to check this out. It's a new field but I been use this place for many years.
Start up go trough the routine with the full speed back to idle. And with fully extended antenna start walking with a cell phone in my hand and a friend with cell phone in the other end. After ca 200-250 Meter(650 Feet).Everything is still running smooth,start to speed up the turbine, when I reach about half speed, It went in fail safe and shut down, and after yes everything work well again.
So now what ??????.
Hello Roy,
Same place same everything... what is your range with the ECU unplugged? It should be more than 1800 feet! If that is the case..... we can assume you have a good an RF link (Radio). Your description of symptoms is very similar to the extremely bad case of RFI (radio frequency interference) being generated by your turbine components.
If you like I can hook you up with the fello who designed the Rat Trap.. and for less than you might think his RF trap should fix the problem once and for all. The trap was designed for the JetCat turbine and its systems but I think it could be slightly modified to work with the Simjet turbine.
