RE: Rhino shuttingdown... Low Speed
I hope that clears it up for ya noab, but if it happens again-heres where I think my problem was.... In the fuel filter.. I just had one of my rabbits do the same thing. All the fuel lines were clear, no kinks, no air bubbles.... my fuel systems go from the main tanks T to a header tank then to the UAT. Safety on top of Safety. Aircraft had 22 flights prior to shutdown in flight.. ECU confirmed speed low 29000. I was just coming over the top of a loop, powered back to idle. I was at idle for about 2 or 3 seconds when it shutdown, about 2 to 3 minutes into the flight. Long story short, I opened up the metal filter with the yellow screen and it was 1/2 covered with either oil or what also looked like algie. I guess just enough restriction to slow the rpm down enough at idle to shut itself down. The million dollar question is....why did it wait 3 minutes into the flight instead of shutting down at idle while running on the ground?? All the while my fuel lines looked clear and never any air bubbles. If any of you guys have had trouble with algie I'd like to hear about it....
