Default RE: MW44 Flameout Problems


ORIGINAL: H.Dale

Looks like the acceleration delay may have been my problem. I set the acceleration delay to 40 and it started and ran okay. I will try and come down one click at a time.

do yourself afavour first

first start the engine let it settle to idle
then go from idle to full throttle slowly within 10 seconds not faster not slower
on full throttle hold it for 10 seconds
then go down to idle again in the same matter.
the learning cureve should be ok now.
let it run to idle for a minute or so.
shut down.

My idle is a little unstable though. The stability delay is currently at 50. Should I go down on it?

leave that it will not help you with this


My deceleration delay is currently at 20. Should I come down on it also?

if it does not flame out on throttle back dont change it

the learning curve should be ok now.

a well knows issue is for you guys who have flame outs on the runway:

most of the time when you start the engine, some fuel could get trapped in the back lower end of the turbine.
now as you nose up with the plane , or accelerate the fuel could get sucked thru the turbine wheel causing it to flame out.
so when you started the engine it would maybe a good thing to go for full thottle first tilt the nose a bit up to let the resident fuel out.
