Wish I could go to the green bottle but my Jet Central wont light on it. Tried it a handful of times, It wont pop []..

Pete
Work with Eric to get the right parameters.All my Jet Central light easily with Propane.
Edgar, I have a older version Falcon. I don't have the option to regulate gas flow, Only glow power, speaking of which I have tried every reasonable setting with no success. I have had a number of guys look at it as well, Puzzling..

Pete, I also got the old ECU. I get Propane starts all the time using [link=http://www.dreamworksrc.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=774]this valve[/link]. Just used the lowest setting (one click only). This gives like 12-15 PSI. No restrictor needed.
If the plane has long line for the gas (e.g. big plane like the Eurosport), then may need to make sure not too much wind get into plane, so align 90% to the wind.Good luck
Hey thanks Edgar, I think that's what my friend Mike is using and we tried that a few times on my falcon....No good. It does always start on the powermax though, Just takes a few tries sometimes with the onboard tank.

I must say, Using the PM can offboard with the squeeze trigger it has started the first try since Ive been doing it that way, Maybe 5 or 6 starts now, Which is great for the Falcon but apparently the P-60 doesn't like it that much. Id like to find a happy medium.
