Matt, no adhesive, the UAT was held by a clear piece of heatshrink you can just see around it, under this is also sandwiched a piece of thin glass board (you can just see the yellow at the base) which was slightly larger than the UAT top and bottom, this was screwed to the lite ply plate underneath.

Now naturally I use the CAT which has its own simple mounting

Marc. You make me sick. Lol. Your installs alone are a work of art. Thanks for sharing.

Just had a flameout this weekend 4 mins not first flight. Only thing I could tell from the ECU was that it was not audio related. Anything look out of sorts? With modern components its pretty simple and there really isn't all that much in there so don't know where i could have gone wrong.

I noticed that your fuel lines are not safety wired. You may be getting air leaks. Can't really tell much from the pick on the rest of the install.

What did the ECU log as the reason for the shutdown? Install looks good, nothing standing out. We would need more detail to source the cause... Last off condition in the ECU would be a good start.

I have a k100. I tried to figure ut the cause but all I could find on the ecu was that it said no radio failure. I can't figure out how to get any additional info.

Nicely Done DrV!

TUMBLER

After each cycle of operation, the FADEC stores the last cause of shut down and the values of RPM, temperature and pump power at the moment of shutdown. In order to access these measures,
Set the trim down (TrimLow) and push the left button on the Data display. The FADEC will display the cause of shutdown and the measured values at the moment of shut down. This will provide the last off condition, if you have attempted another start since the flame-out, the needed data is gone from display be stored in the ECU.
During engine operation the FADEC measures and stores all the engine operating parameters recorded during the last the 51 minutes of operation in .5 sec intervals. These measures can be downloaded to a PC to study the behavior of the engine in flight or to email the file for us to diagnose any possible problems. You would need the FADEC USB cable to download the data.....
