Default Universal Starting Gas Dump Kit

We are very pleased to announce that we have finished testing the Turbine Starting Gas Dump kit.

The kit is universal and will work with any radio or any turbine installation. Please note: This kit allows you to dump into open air and not dump the excess gas into the turbine, hence removing any overheating/flameout possibilities.

Setting-up is extremely easy, just cut your starting gas line between the starting gas tank and solenoid, insert the Festo T piece, hook up the provided gas valve to the gas line, the gas valve control lead to the control circuit, and the control circuit to a spare channel on your receiver (switch channel works as well). Activate the switch from your transmitter and the gas is evacuated.

Since some turbines use 3mm for the starting gas, and some use 4mm, we have provided both 3mm and 4mm tubing as well as 3 and 4mm Festo T pieces. The Y harness is universal and will fit all radio systems.

Get the piece of mind, and dump your starting gas before take off.

OTHER APPLICATIONS:
1- Some turbine installations do not have a starting gas valve. You can use this kit to add a starting gas valve system that is purely controlled by the transmitter, and will work with any ECU and any Turbine.

2- You can use it without the valve to hook-up to your model's kero valve to shut down fuel no matter what the ECU is commanding. This is an added safety feature since you command it from the transmitter.

3- Finally, if you have a turbine set-up that does not have a fuel valve, you can use this kit to command your fuel. A typical set-up is the WREN44 manual start. This system does not use a Kero valve, I have in the past used a micro servo to control a Festo valve to shut-off fuel. With this new system, the solenoid valve will do the trick.

Selling price: $US 189.95
Dealer enquiries welcome.
