First Turbine Operations
3.1. Initial steps
Fill the fuel tank with kerosene. Ensure a 5% oil mix.
Make sure the tank breather is open!
Filter your fuel when filling up using a line filter on your jerrycan.
Make sure that both the ECU battery and the receiver battery are
charged.
Test your remote control range with and without the ECU turned
on.
Always place the model with the nose into the wind and make
sure that the jet blast will not be set in the direction of persons or
equipment.
Turn the transmitter and the receiver ON.
The Pro-Jet ECU is mostly pre-adjusted and tuned to your
turbine.
If the unit starts in German, you can change the
language to English in menu 3.2 ( System-> Sprache ).
However you'll have to teach your remote control unit throttle
range to the ECU.
The failsafe range should be programmed at
this stage. Please refer to 3.3 below.
Then, follow the ProJet
instructions on page 16, to learn RC from menu 2.1.
It is necessary to prime the fuel system before the first operation
in a new model. That means both starter and main fuel lines must
be filled with kerosene up to the engine. Priming is done
manually with throttle back, and trim low on the transmitter. Press
the small black smc push button on the left side of the I/O board.
This will open both fuel valves and start the pump. Check the
kerosene progression in the lines carefully to prevent the turbine
from being flooded. Stop priming just before kerosene enters the
turbine.
Do not pump kerosene into the turbine
.
This procedure must be done before the first engine run as well
as if dry running has occurred due to tanks emptying or
unpriming.
Should the turbine have been flooded, place the model with the
nozzle facing downwards ( nose up ) to allow excess kerosene to
exit the turbine. This should avoid a hot start, that can damage
the
turbine.
