Very odd problem w/DA60

[Av8r RC]

Which airframe is this motor in? Is it a round cowl like a Yak or Sukhoi? If so, one option to help with the cowl pressure issue is to baffle or partially block the cowl opening so not as much air can get in. I had to do this on my Su-26.

To be 100% sure it's not cowl-related is an easy test.
Fly it once with the cowl OFF and see if the problem remains.
(Add some weight up front to make up for the lost weight of the cowl if you need)

Think I might have found the problem. As I was going thru all of the ignition related plugs, the positive wire to the ignition fell off. This is the connection after the optikill, which is why we didn't se the light from the ignition showing a problem.

Make sure your electrical connections are good. Visually check them.

Nailed it. Even if it isn't the cause of the problem, it would have been a problem soon.

Might be able to try it again this weekend, but it's most likely gonna be next week.

Thanks All

Got a chance to fly my slick this weekend, and couldn't get the motor to cut out. Must have been that positive wire.

Thanks for the help everyone.
