Hi there,


I did my maiden few days ago, ground test on maiden day was perfect. Had a few ground test with 10/10 results no flame outs.

Start temp is 250degree idle temp is about 750degree show on the IR handheld read out ( Please advise on the temp is in Celsius or Fahrenheit on the IR) , If it is in celsius than i may have a temp probe issue, may need to recalibrate the probe, anyway how do you recalibrate it?

Max Throttle is 650deg, Idle RPM is average 34000-36000, Max Throttle average RPM 113000-115000


Take off, left turn and straight bout 30 seconds later Engine flame out (still have control), and manage to glide down safely. I suspect it could be my TX that gave problem that may have the ASD to kick in. As my TX died on me the next day that made me suspect this problem.

So should i fly again with a new TX or should i resolve the engine issue




Can you help advise



Happy Holidays!
