12 IMPORTANT UPDATES
As the use of the JET CENTRAL motors increase, we find some important things to update
the user. One every owner will receive a current update page as it is released.
1.
IMPORTANT
Use the supplied hangar 9 fuel filter just between the fuel pump and
the turb
ine, this will insure you don’t clog the oil flow reducer. If you don’t use this filter
you can damage the motor by reducing the flow of fuel/oil to the rear bearing!
2. Make sure to bring the trim to the lowest position to start the auto cool on the motor!
3.
IMPORTANT!
Use only 5 cell 6V packs on your receiver; this will insure proper
operation of the turbine electronics. You can use a regulator if wished but we find 6V
packs work just fine with today's radio equipment. Tests have proven that all turbine
electronics can get glitches by lower 4.8 Volt packs running you radio system.
4.
If it’s cold outside, 8°C (45°F) or below, and you get a time out message this is due to
the start gas flow not being enough, just leave your fill supply hooked up and open as
you cycle the throttle to start. Then, once you get a pre-heat message or Ramp
message, disconnect the fill bottle and let the engine finish the ramping just from the
onboard gas tank. Just Gas Start.
5. If you experience any type of engine failure make sure to check the last power down
cause and fix the issue. You do this by turning the receiver power switch off and on,
wait until you get the main menu, then push and hold the menu down. The
I.C.S. will
tell you why the turbine was shut down and important parameters
to verify. Don’t try to
restart the turbine again until you have wrote parameters down for future reference,
they will be reset after the next run.
6. Charge your batteries properly and make sure your packs are no less than 2 flights
low. You can go more if y
ou wish, but it’s a good habit to re-charge after every second
flight.
7. IT IS IMPORTANT IF YOU FLY ANOTHER BRAND OF TURBINE TO MAKE SURE
YOU UNDERSTAND THE STARTING PROCEDURES OF THE JET CENTRAL
I.C.S. ECU AND UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERANCE.
Programming the transmitter when the HDT asks for stick up and trim up, place the trim all
the way to the top; then when the HDT asks for stick low trim at idle place the trim only to the
center during this learn feature.
Follow the above steps and now if needed after your turbine is running you can use the
seconded half of your trim movement to idle up your motor to create some residual thrust to
help in taxing and for landing if wished.
