Charging the Battery - Do not charge the battery, with a quick charger using negative

discharge pulses, when connected to the ECU. This will destroy the electronics of the

ECU. The only recommended method is to disconnect the battery from the ECU and

charge it directly.

Also make it a routine to reset battery used to zero under Info menu by pressing the

“+” button after each full charge. This will cumulatively monitor mAh used, make

sure you stop flying and starting charging if it becomes near 80% of the capacity.

Glow Plug

A modified, (non-idle bar) glow plug OS no8, Rossi 9, McCoy 9, any of the colder plug

is appropriate. Hotter plugs maybe used, but adjustment from glow setting must be

made to achieve maximum longevity. The glow plug is installed on the turbine with

the washer. Do not over-tighten or you may damage the threaded bushing. Light

torque is fine; there is no vibration to loosen it. The glow plug is modified, so that at

least two turns of the element extend beyond the bottom of the plug. With a pin, pull

out two turns of the element. Make sure the plug glows brightly red. The limits menu

features an adjustment for glow plug voltage. If higher voltage plugs are used a

value of 2.6-2.7 V will be required. This adjustment is described later.

Description of the FADEC.

The FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) is a total system for the control of a

model gas turbine engine. Its main function is to control and regulate the fuel pump,

providing to the turbine engine the necessary amount of fuel for safe and controlled

operation, and to operate the ancillary devices for starting. The FADEC measures the

exhaust gas temperature, the relative position of the throttle stick and the rotor
