Good luck with your maiden Keith. It is a great jet and fun to fly...

Flew the F4 today. It lifted off very nicely, very little trim needed, nice and stable in the air, aileron response at factory recommended throws was very good. Unfortunately, I suffered a flame out before I really had time to get the feel of the Phantom. I was downwind, full of fuel and farily low ... I did make it back to the runway but the landing was heavy and I have a little repair work on one of the main landing gear mounts.
I am still diagnosing the problem, but it was not an air bubble.
What did the Flame out look like...i.e. smoke signals or just quit? What did the ECU error message say? There is a 99.9% chance Static discharge had nothing to do with you turbine quiting.
