My experience is that you have to tune the ECU somewhat, but once that is achieved, it is generally a very good starter. Perhaps you could PM the details and your existing parameters on Excel? At first I had about 17 failures but once tuned it has started every time. I will check the ECU log but I must have had 42+ flights and 5hours+ run time. I have borrowed ECUs off other engines (which were being serviced) and each time I transferred, the ECU has had to relearn the engine in spite of being given the same parameters. I have now bought it its own 2nd hand ECU so hopefully, it will now settle down a bit. I reckon it is delivering about 18lbs thrust and consumes 260ml/min at full throttle.
