I went through the process in the book, but the oil timer didn't change until I powered it down and when I powered it up, the timer read zero.  Nothing in the documentation about having to power it down before the reset will take. 

Mine works the same way.

 Sure would be nice if that step was noted in the manual (Tracy???). 

I'm puzzling over fuel flow calibration.  I had it pretty close (when on controller A; on B it is way off, and I'm thinking it can't work on B); but then we did the injector snubber update, and it was reading way too high. So I followed the manual and increased FFCAL; and it then read nonsensically high. So I set it too a number lower than I started with; and it is still reading higher than it did to start. I must be doing something wrong.

Al, I'm counting on you to take good notes here.  There's an excellent chance that I'll need them soon. 

 

I hope to fly in a week or two after I get some recurrency training.  Trust me, my rotary buds will be the first to know when it happens.  

Best of luck; we're rooting for you,

 

Al

Thanks,
Mark
