I had a flame out this weekend, didnt make it to the runway. Kingtech 210 G5.
Landed in soft mud which took most of the impact, ripped retracts out and small tiny damage on elevator one side, very lukcy escape.
Shes ready again....
Had air in the lines/small leak on g5 pump....going to run a tank of fuel throuigh her and see apperntly the o-rings shrink in cold weather?!

I know there have been pump issues. Not just in cold weather, CARF suffered several flame outs at WP last year. Talk to KT Europe and see what they say, I think they were changing pumps.

My Feedback: (11)
One last question
I hooked up my thrust vector servos and linkages. I'm getting about 15 degrees of throw before major interference between the rear clevis and the nozzle arm. Is this normal? Is there a fix for this? My other jets have ball links at each end but there is no room on the Diablo
Thanks again for the help.
