3. Beginning of turbine operation
3.1. Initial operation
Fill the fuel tank with kerosene. Ensure a 5% proportion of oil.
Make sure the tank breather is open!
Filter your fuel already when filling up through the preceding
fine filter.
Make sure the electric power supply battery and the receiver
battery are charged.
Test the reach of your remote control with and without the ECU
turned on.
Place the model always with the nose against the wind so the
direction of the jet exhaust equals the wind direction.
Turn on the sender and the receiver unit.
The Pro-Jet ECU is mostly pre-adjusted and tuned to your
turbine. Nevertheless, you have to adjust the ECU to the
remote control unit.
To do this, follow the ProJet instruction on page 18, activate
manual point 2.1 “Abgleich / adjustment”, trim and throttle back
– Enter, trim forward – Enter, Throttle forward – Enter. Sender
is now adjusted.
Make sure that no sender functions like Dual Rate, Expo,
distance limit, etc. are programmed!
It is necessary to de-aerate the fuel tube before the first
operation in a new model. That means the fuel tube must be
filled with kerosene. Do this manually
(throttle back, trim back)
.
This must be done carefully to prevent the turbine from being
flooded with kerosene. So let kerosene flow until it can be seen
that it has reached the turbine. Never pump kerosene into the
turbine.
Press the button on the I/O platine circuit board
.
This measure must be taken before the
virgin operation
as well
as after emptying the tank through engine operation.
Should the turbine have been flooded, place the model with
the nozzle facing downwards to let the surplus kerosene run
out of the turbine. Thus you avoid a hot start, which can
damage the turbine.
