Default flameouts

Ron,

With the old ED ECU and a JR radio (10X) if you throttled back to idle the engine would flameout. What we had to do to fix it was increase the ATV at idle to about 125% then teach the ECU. This seperated the pulse width at idle and a cut by a little larger margin. I could actually be taxiing out, and hold a little back pressure on the stick at idle and flame the engine out. We also had a lot of problems with pumps. The pump would wear in a little and when you pulled back to idle in the landing pattern the engine would flameout.
