I'm not sure what I keep doing wrong, but the engine keeps flaming out on me about 10 minutes into flight so I guess I'll have to read the manual now.This is with the EPP deployed for emergency electrical and hydraulic power.
It's not just you, I get the same thing. Even after I broke down and read the manual I was still only getting about 25 minutes of flight time before all went quiet. Then I went so far as to enable unlimited fuel.......still only 20 or so minutes before gravity was not my friend.
When I get a few minutes freetime I was gonna e-mail the maker to get a tip or two as to what I'm missing. :-?

Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2011 10:03 pmHey, those shots look great! Seems like you're on the right track on that LOD thing 
as far as the engine flaming out, I had the same thing and after reading the manual I think there's something about a power setting you cannot go past... If I remember correctly, you cannot be above 86% engine power for more than 10 min otherwise the engine will die. I'm not sure on the numbers but this was the issue. After respecting the correct power setting I was fine to fly. Hope this helps

I think it flames out when it gets too hot..........I think :-/

Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2011 11:33 pmThanks guys. Yeah I noticed that when I took it up today and kept it at about 75% I had zero issues. Definitely a fun bird!

Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 9:11 amNice shots but I only like those 3D lights at night, they should have designed em to not look so big and bright in daytime views. 8-)
