Default RE: correct procedure

Sorry, It is Kero Start and it has about 11 hours on it. The message on the ECU was and I am quoting from memory right now, but it was ignition sequence time to long or something very close. I will look in the manual and find the exact verbiage.

No issues between flights and no issues since I have had it. One thing it does do is on every start a very small amount of flame does happen. I have been in contact with JetCat and modified the uacclr setting 2 to the lowest setting it has. It still happens and I was told that is only a small amount of kero that is pumped in during ignition and that flame is okay. What I had yesterday was a true wet start and man did it scare the hell out of me. the battery pack I use is the Duralite lithium-ion that they built for kero starts and it was at 7.9 volts which should have given me one last flight and then needed charging. I am wondering if there was not enough charge in the battery and that is why ignition did not happen.


Thanks
Scott
