I purchased JRollon's jetstream a few days ago an since its already 64-bit compatible I've been enjoying it to the fullest. What a beauty!!!

 

There is one thing that keeps creeping up on me in the middle of the flight, for whatever reason whether its me doing something wrong or its just part of the random equipment malfunction, I keep loosing torque to the left engine and only the left engine and this is in every flight. Weird!!

 

I have always kept an eye in the RPM's (97%), kept Torque around 60-65% and EGT is alway below 620 deg C.

 

Anybody out there having the same issue (if it in fact it's an issue) or is it just me doing something wrong?

 

Your help and input is greatly appreciated.

Anybody?? :unsure:

Hi Carlos,

It would seem it's been noted by others, so it could be a bug

Thanks a lot Michel!

Could be a number of things. I've flown it for a few weeks. here's my thoughts:

 

Make sure your not over revving it. Lights will come on if you are over 100% rpm. 

 

Check the oil temperature. If it's less than about 5 deg I turn off the oil cooling flaps. if it gets to 0 deg the fuel lines will freeze and you'll lose the engine. 

 

After keeping an eye on those two things I've not lost an engine like I did when I was starting out.
