Gas System (Cont)
9.
10.
Make sure that the canister/cartridge stands upright in the airframe to avoid liquid
gas entering the engine. During start, excessive flame and engine surge will result if
the liquid gas is allowed to enter the engine. (This is known as a hot start) This is not
healthy for the combustion chamber or your model.
For safety purposes, the onboard gas canister/cartridge should be emptied after
flying sessions prior to storage. Simply disconnect the line to the solenoid valve or
the one-way valve. Safety:
Use towels or rags to cover the valve and keep your face
and eyes protected during the disconnection.
B. External Gas Tank
1. External gas tanks may be used to replace the internal canister/cartridge.
2. Use a similar manual valve connection as shown in the picture above (the valve is
not included but available as an option from PST).
3. Connect the external gas line to the solenoid valve via a quick disconnect connector.
4. Do not by-pass the gas solenoid valve during start.
Incorrect manual metering of the
gas may cause internal damage and flame coming out of tail cone.
5. Before start, open the external gas tank valve.
6. After start, close the valve and disconnect the external gas tank.
Take care that the
disconnection is done far from the exhaust cone as there could be excess gas
escaping during disconnection. Remember that this gas is highly flammable.
C. One-way Valve
One-way valve "IN" direction is from the silver shaded side.
Use this valve for filling the gas canister.
D. Quick Disconnect Connector
This can be used for both kerosene and gas. It allows easy
connection and disconnection of tubing extension.
