Turbine battery
All the components ( starter, glowplug, ECU, fuel pump etc) are powered by a single 6 cell
battery which is connected directly to the ECU.
Caution
It is not permitted to under any circumstances to fit a switch in the battery cable.
The ECU power supply is switched on automatically when the receiver is powered on. During
each flight (duration 10 minutes or so including start up and cool down sequences) the battery
has to supply 300-400mAH. On the early 1250 mAH batteries, a recharge every 3 flights is
necessary. Later batteries are of 2400mAH capacity and can power 5-6 flights maximum. More
often is preferable for safety.
Charging the turbine battery
Under normal circumstances the turbine battery should be disconnected for charging, however,
leaving it connected and using a Y-lead is acceptable as long as the charger does not reverse
the supply for testing the batteries charge level.. Under no circumstances should the charger be
connected to the ECU without a battery being present.
Attention:
As of the ECU Software version 5.00J you can, within the Limits Menu, select the
type of battery. The available options are NiCad (minimum of 2400 mAH) or LiPo (minimum of
3300 mAH). The standard setting is NiCad
Fuel/fuel supply
Suitable fuels are Kerosene or Jet A-1 aviation fuel to which turbine oil must be added at the
rate of 5%.
Approximate formula 1 quart oil to 5 gallons kerosene.
Special turbine oil should always be used as lubricant e.g Aeroshell 500 or Exxon turbine oil.
