We test flew engines in my 4 Star 120. No problems with PCM receivers.

Dave installed his SPE 40 in the XL330 he purchased from you for this engine.

1st flight, fantastic. Started engine for 2nd flight, engine quit. The spark plug wire connecting to the spark plug cap broke off!
Dave and friends reconnected the wire to the twisted wire plug connector.

While they were working on Dave's wiring I attempted to start my engine for the 3 rd flight. The wire broke off in mine.

Both connections broke while we were on the ground!!!!!!!

Dave took off the 330 and immediately received multiple glitches and fought the plane back to a successful landing. Thank God we are in the desert and have about 5 acres to land in!
