Default RE: AMT ECU software up grade

Not trying to shoot the messenger just concerned with misinformation...

Well thanx for clearing that up for me, I guess?? I stand corrected, I do fly PCM and I even flew the turbine demo for the AMA GRAND EVENT last year in front of Carl and Joyce getting a favorable write up on the event by Carl..

I guess I will have to figure out when/where AMA had dictated the exclusive use of PCM control for turbine powered aircraft. Guess I missed it. Surface models have always had a gizmo for throttle failsafe use programming with standard PPM control. Futaba sells one and list it as not for aircraft use. I still believe it makes more sense for a turbine ECU to be the brains of failsafe shutdown versus user programability

The same frequency module that works either a PPM receiver to an ECU is the same one that works with a PCM receiver to an ECU. SO I been in this long enough to know your not less prone to interferance only a preprogrammable crash mode!!!

It's the high speed glitch with extreme heading changes and loss of LOTS of altitude I preffer to mask out.
