Kingtech K130G5 Thrust + Restart Test

[@DouglasMatthews-zz3os]

Very impressive restart. That can save the day if you have a small field and few options for dead stick. 😊

[@SFPFPV]

One of those things you hope you never have to test 😬

I see RadioMaster Zorro and some kind of Flight Controller usually used in FPV wings. Are you planning to do this untypical setup with RadioMaster and FPV FC as a stabilization gyro? I am also an FPV pilot that has potion for fixed wing line of sight flying and was wondering why not do a jet setup with this affordable electronics instead of more traditional big $ setups.

[@SFPFPV]

That is the plan, much to the chagrin of many turbine pilots, it seems, who all think you MUST use a $1000+ radio and the stabilizer they use for any turbine powered plane. I already use the Zorro/ELRS with my F22+K45 and it works flawlessly. The K130 is going in a Viper, and I have a X132 going into an L-39, all budget planes, but I have full confidence in ELRS and my $200 Zorro to maintain a robust RC connection. Can't say the same for all the $1000+ radios that, even with double/triple redundancy receivers, seem to still manage to lose connection at 100 meters away, and crash the big expensive jets they are in. The only thing missing from ELRS currently is turbine telemetry, but there is a push to get it added to bring more turbine/large scale modelers over to it.

[@Mr.Laidukas]

@SFPFPV Is there something I can do to increase the push to add telemetry senor support in to ELRS? I can post a request or something. I'm interested to get in to turbines. Currently, I use ELRS and on my propeller fixed wing planes and I am very satisfied.

@SFPFPV subscribed to your channel and rang the bell to get notifications :) please upload any news if there will be in future.

[@Mr.Laidukas]

@SFPFPV have you tried binding two ELRS receivers to radio. Then, going to one receiver wifi configuration interface and disabling telemetry radio transmissions. Use this receiver to control servos. The other receiver with active telemetry setup for HoTT Telemetry/Graupner and connect that receiver to turbine MCU? On the other hand, in the latest firmware in the wifi configuration page , I believe you can configure for the same receiver for exampe ER8 some channels as serial Hott/Graupner, others as PWM servo

[@SFPFPV]

@@Mr.Laidukas that was the first thing I tried, but the Zorro would not show the HoTT telemetry for some reason. I am going to try on a TX16s soon

[@panjets]

what battery is use for turbine? and what UAT ?

[@SFPFPV]

Old 3S lipo I had laying around just for the test stand, it's a digitech UAT

[@Zaphod7835]

What elevation/temp? Thanks!

[@SFPFPV]

0 MSL, it was around 70F

[@arnaldopansera]

whats name uat are using? and what size is the uat?

[@SFPFPV]

It's a Digitech 250ml
