It is time now for my least favorite job of programing. I will be leaning on my programing guru David Soufer for help. This is the first scale plane I have set up on the Jeti system and I am still a bit lost with some of the programing. To make things easier I have left the nose section off the main fuse so I can work with easier access.
Once compete the fuse will be joined and ready for final adjustments and taxi testing this spring.

Here is the video of the burner lights working.

Here are some pictures of the burner lights being activated by the throttle stick. The lights do not start to cycle until the stick is at around 3/4 throttle. In these pictures you can see the lights starting to come on and then progressing slowly to full afterburner. I will post a short video of this also.
Here is the throttle being moved to the activation point.
Starting


Full on.

Finalized the trays. The first one is the turbine tray with the ECU and fuel valve on it along with a fill port and the pump is underneath on a separate tray.
The next tray is the main electronics tray with all the required items on it that you need to access prior to flight. You can see the data terminal in the front of the tray which gives me all the information that I need during start up of the turbine. Air fill valves and gauges can be seen next to it.
Behind that is the Central box for all the servos to plug in and behind that the gyro. I have left a space behind the gyro for possible battery location in case I need to adjust my C of G.
The holes are for routing wiring. Below this tray is the air systems tray as seen in a previous post. You can see a battery there but it will be in the nose to start with.
