FADEC blinked?

[heliman53]

Put a few more flights on my Wren powered Intrepid yesterday, flying well but on the last flight which lasted about 12 mins upon looking at the post flight info the ECU only showed 118 secs. Almost like the power going to the ECU was interupted for a second, I was just curious has anyone else seen this before? Didn't see any abnormal behavior in the air. Craig B

I can't say as I've really paid any attention to this number, post flight. I'll take a look after the next flight, see what mine says.

Also, any questions concerning Fadec ops can be found here http://www.espiell.com/, or I believe they (Gaspar) can be found on RCGroups.com

Thanks Chris, as I said it seems to work fine I was just curious. Craig

Maybe it;s like when your at work the time is slow but when you are at the field the time just zips by, nah can't be. Craig B

Hey Chris,
It's that "unobtainium" time creeping in...kinda' like the stuff used on the mufflers :wink:

Craig, I've never run into this either and I also read and, most of the time, download my FADEC after a day of flying. Can't say that I've run into this before, but will definitely keep my eyes open now.

Doc, this has happened twice, it adds up the total time ok and all the data is there when I down load, just does not show on the HDT like it restarts the last timer or something. Weird. Craig B

Hey Craig,
This is a new one on me, but now that it has been brought up, I am going to start looking. Also, you might want to pose your question over on Gaspar Espiel's forum. He is the gent who designed and makes the FADECS. The link to Gaspar's FADEC Forum is below.
