That’s great news and a big relief as I was pretty worried about it. Glad I found this site you guys seem like a good bunch of people and are willing to put up with a newbie. Now I just need to get this dang beeping thing worked out.

RE: AMT USA
 

Dan,
The light just came on for me. You mentioned that you were running the engine with a turbine driver. I would be willing to bet, that your battery on driver is low or dead. The ECU battery would run down to dead. It would not run the engine to full throttle. The turbine driver would give you the same fault as a dead receiver battery. No radio present.
Let me know how it goes.

RE: AMT USA
 

Dan,

He might be refering to a Chauffeur behind the wheel of a Rolls Royce driving a Sheik in the Middle East wearing a Turbine !!!!:D:D

Danno

P.S.... I don't know what he is talking about either....????

RE: AMT USA
 

The turbine driver is a small box with a knob you use to throttle the engine, or sometimes called a reostat (sp)?
You may also check the glow plug that will give a constant error beep= hardware error.

RE: AMT USA
 

Like this?

RE: AMT USA
 

Thanks Randy.
Yes I was talking about the black box with the nob. Love the humor though! It is good to know that there is someone out there as twisted as I am! Lol

RE: AMT USA
 

Dan,

Looks and sounds great !!! Congrats !!!!! I was worried about the Workmate turning over and wrecking the whole shop !!!![X(] If you plan to run it alot more I would mount the engine 90 degrees from how you have it. My Pegusus will scoot a 5 ft. shop table across the floor !!!! Glad to see you got it going your way !!!!

RE: AMT USA
 

i'm sure you did it as i didn't watch the whole vid but be sure to add weight to the table and as a safety technique keep people forward of the compressor or turbine wheel.

long live the air start sound!!!! beeeepp bweeeeeppppp poooooffffff beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

RE: AMT USA
 

Buck,

Dude, I think you need a new keyboard !!!! I have seen this before with you !! You either have a sticky key board ( which we won't go in to ) or a Mental Disorder.....Or I guess it's just habit you have left over from the Marine F-18 days, You must have to beat the hell out of the buttons to get anything to work !!!!:D


Danno[sm=tongue_smile.gif]

RE: AMT USA
 

Just what exactly could cause a keyboard to stick like that??? What kind of fluid? Hmmmmmmm.........

RE: AMT USA
 

I'm glad I didn't go there !!!!! How u been dude????

Danno

RE: AMT USA
 

Been great, Danno. But my keyboard is sticky free!

RE: AMT USA
 

Hello people!

I need help! Some of my engines need maintenance.

I'm from Brazil and I have two AMT 180sp and two AMT 280.

I'm getting no answer from UsMicroJet. Do you know someone with I can talk?

Here are my problems:

The ECU from one 180sp only works with 11volt batteries. If I try the 7,2v I will get an error message. Low supply error.
This same ECU fluctuate the EGT. It suddenly read the temperature to -50 Celsius and goes back to normal. It is not the thermocouple.
I couldn’t test it with the working order ECU but the engine fluctuate the thrust in middle range and when I move back the throttle. It sounds like a hi-pressure air hose with no one holding it.

The ECU from one 280 make the engine stall if I throttle up too fast and only goes to 110K rpm probably ECU software version.
One 280 engine have a serious mechanical problem. It is overheating badly. It is passing 1000Celsius. I know it is the engine, because I test it with the other one components.

If someone could help I will be glad.

Thanks,

Plautos

Hi Plautos, fun to meet you here!

RE: AMT USA
 

Plautus:

Did you try a new thermocouple on the 180? if so does the problem persist? your thermocouple could be shorted on the inside

on the 280's the first one either has a bad Combustion chamber or needles, which is not common, or has bad bearings, AMT's are some of the fastest turbines on acceleration so you may have some king of drag= bad bearings, have you manually spun the shaft to listen for bar bearing noise?

RE: AMT USA
 

Mate,

Contact Bennie at AMT Netherlands and get your turbines changed to AMT Netherlands engines and ECU's ( if Bennie can help he will) - all your problems will go away immediately.

Cheers,

Jan
