Ron,

There were some issues concerning the E.D. ECU several years ago..It had to do with learning the ecu on the ground(full throttle), before flight. This happened to Bob Price in Mississippi years ago with his first Kangaroo.. Rei was there and got involved and the concensus was that the engine overshot the 1700mb, or whatever it was..i forgot.. and if the temp probe was marginal in depth, it would shut down due to over temp.. seemed to happen right after take off at initial throttle reduction. Rei indicated that this had been an issue before in some cases.. Unfortunately, Bob turned off the ecu before we got back to the pitts to read the error message.. There was no evidence of fuel bubbles at all. The engine restarted normal and ran fine after that incident...I'm sure this is a long shot, but I was there and I saw what happened..After that we all started making sure we ran to full throttle static, let the ecu set max mb, watched the egt... Never duplicated flame out on the ground, but it never happened again after that.... Food for thought..



Good Luck,

Keep us posted!!
