I have started having a prob with my trudo80 , ever since i used the data lead to download settings from my fadec , I am getting the failed start error stating " Bad Start " the starter is running up to 18200 rpm , what I have noticed is that the gas apears to come on and ignite as soon as the starter kicks in .. before it used to spin in a number of bursts and add the gas ... is it possible I have currupted the settings in the fadec ? if so , is it possible to reset to factory setting using the handhelt data terminal without connecting to the laptop ? or can you sugest any other fix ...
its cold out here , so I have tried starting in the workshop with a room temp of about 24 c . so no probs with gas flow ect , I have also tried starting with a external battery pack to rule out a bad cell dropping on start up .

many thanks in advance

Hi Guy's ,

just an update on the problems I was having with my turbine , it all started with a sticky pump , then I screwed up the settings .. anyway Sandor sorted it out in record time , and I had 7 flights on sunday gone , with my trudo / boomer out performing most other things at the fly in ...

no problem i am glad i could help
some say its not good , but i am always happy when my stock and repair shelfs are empty
like i said if that pump gives you more trouble we go bother mr flightworks
