Default RE: Engine Fires...

I had a little flame problem this past weekend...
Flames were orange/transparent (Hard to see)

The ECU measured the last temp as 1045 degree centigrade (Well over 2000 Fahrenheit) when the normal full power operating temp should read no more than 600 F

This was not caused at engine startup by the way. this was after about 2 minutes into the flight. Looking at the Elevator and rudder servo leads I think I'm lucky to get it back in one piece (So to speak)

What were the results after talking with the folks at Jetcat? Are you still running your fuel pump filter on its side like in the pictures of the Shock Jet? I think they recommend mounting it vertical to eliminate any air that could get trapped. I am interested in learning what is causing your overspead and overtemp problems.
