The Checklist

Before Running the Turbine

•

Charge ECU Battery

•

Prepare fire extinguisher

•

Check fuel lines and filter. Make sure they are clean with no restrictions

•

Check that the fuel tank vent is unobstructed

•

Mix 5 % oil in fuel (i.e.: 1 quart per 5 gallons of kerosene)

•

Fill fuel tank(s). Make sure the main and header tanks are full

•

Be certain the starting gas release valve is closed, before filling the starting gas tank

•

Turn on receiver switch

•

Place the model with nose into the wind

•

Start

turbine

After Stopping the Turbine

•

Turn model into the wind. Stop turbine

•

After the cooling process (approximately two minutes), turn off receiver switch

•

After each flying session, open starting gas release valve, to empty the tank, before

storing the model. This should be executed in a safe area
