Got a P-60 with 42 flights on it with no flame outs of any kind, but the last 10 flights, 8 of which have flamed out about 3/4 the way through the flight on a 5 minute timer with the throttle at various positions, all saying "watchdog." One flight went just perfect and the other we flew it 9 minutes to see what kind of flight time we actually did have, of course when it flamed out it was due to fuel starvation. After the trusty manual was looked over it did not lead to much information, so here I am...

ECU Reset for static discharge is what I got from the manual. Ecu is not close to anything really and is also mounted on lightply via velcro.

Any Ideas???

bump this one up a last time...

I would suggest calling Bob Wilcox at 805-226-8700 to go over what you are seeing, the back and forth online can take forever!


Im my experience, what you are seeing is most likely caused by a bad battery (cell, or a weld), wiring from that battery or a switch (especially the switch). These items can go bad without much warning, especially the switch.

Did I mention a bad switch?!

Good luck in any case, and give Bob a call!

I called Bob, just curious as to see other peoples thoughts.... ECU is on the way back.
