jetcat 120 problem
Hello
I have a jetcat 120 v2 turbine .Been flying it for more than 1 year without a problem.
Yesterday I took it to the field ,checked everything and started it up from the tx . motor engaged , the gas start up but that's it ! the rest of the sequence did not happen
-checked the glow plug
- battery, gas is fully charged
-the gas solenoid clicked during the startup
-manual checked fuel pump ok
- filters cleaned
fuel pump did not start up yet but the gas start up did seems to hiccup ( MORE like stutter) a bit.(maybe pressure/temp not up yet??)
Any ideas before I call up jetcat tomorrow??
I need a piece of mind before I can sleep

Hi Lim
This problem you are describing is almost certainuly the glow plug.
Evrn if it appears OK, you should change it.
I would suggest a McCoy MC9. Very carefully, with a needle, take two coils and pull them up until they are 90 degrees to the face of the glow plug.
