Sorry about the confusion of this post. It was intended for informational purposes. I am usually not good with words. Following is reasoning behind the testing.

We fly lots of models routinely, all powered by Jetcat engines. We run P70's, P120's and a P200. They have all been very reliable and we have had very little problems with them. Some of our models carry expensive research equipment so we do everything we can to reduce risks of losing a model. Whenever we suspect problems with a data cable, we replace it. When an engine has any problem we cannot identify, we send it to Jetcat for servicing.

The data cables are often blamed for problems. Jetcat is currently undergoing some design changes that will eliminate the current type of data cable with something more robust.

With that in mind, this study was to determine what kinds of symptoms you get when you have a faulty cable. Since the cable has 6 conductors and any one or more could fail, the symptoms are not always the same when a cable is faulty. Also cable issues are often intermittent and only occur when the cable is moved or under strain. The results show that depending on how a cable fails, symptoms vary significantly.

Also, just because you get some of the symptoms noted in the results, doesn't always mean the data cable is bad.

The testing was not because of one data cable in question. It was due to several problems we have had on numerous models recently. Discussions with Mr. Matt and Bob Wilcox have been inconclusive, but the most likely cause of our problems is due to static discharge. We have not been using anti static solution in our fuel in the past, but will begin using it from this point forward.
