Default RE: PST contact?

Kelly,
I'll perform a more thorough range check before the next flight. I'm not sure when the glitch counter zeros out, but it didn't have a figure displayed after the last flight.

Did you see the input from Dave? He experienced a problem with the orientation of the main tank, feed line facing aft instead of forward. Could this be a cause. Anyway, he said it cleared a flame-out condition he had. What kind of error would the GDT display for this?

Also, can rapid throttle movement cause a flame-out? I don't think I'm moving the throttle too fast but it seems the flame-outs occur while the model is descending and after the throttle has been decreased, such as coming out of a loop. I fly fairly close in so I've been able to hear the turbine spool down each time a flameout occurs.

Cheers,
Keith
