i was out the yard today to start up a new evo90 i have recently purchased did all systems check and finally fired it up. noticed a bit of flame coming out the back a little more than normal but not a hot start. after motor did its calibration run ran perfect increased the throttle to full power for a few moments and noticed the tailcone of turbine get red hot . my question is this i have never seen any of my other turbines get red hot like this but this is the smallest turbine i have maybe the165000 rpms as oposed to the lower rpms of the bigger motors or is this turbine getting to much fuel any help would be great thanks sal

Hi Sal - your Italian buddy from the US here. The tail cones actually get quite red. Was it fairly dark outside when you did this? In the daylight they do not usually look red, but start one up in the dark and it really glows red.

yes bob now that u mentioned it it was a dark and rainy day typical vancouver weather never seen one glow before i guess its becouse i have always started them in those sunny princton days anyway working on the panther should be ready for our team flight in the spring lol thats if the tutor boys let us lol

Sal, stop worrying, the turbine is fine. Just get out and fly it! You can do it!
