  • Instead of look to sky, pay attention on your TOT and n1

  • What are you using to control the Collective? I'm using an xbox 360 controller but cannot seem to control the collective with it but everything else is working fine.

  • @dietrichian I use the throttle on my joystick for collective. I don't think the 360 pad would work well because of the centering of the sticks.

  • im guessing your using REX and Track IR???

  • Awesome start up. I have a quick question though.

    How did you manage to keep the starter switch pressed, and open the throttle at the same time?

    I am having difficulty starting up the dodo because I have to quickly let off the starter, and open the throttle (to 6%) after N1 reaches 15%. Then I quickly get back to the starter switch, which results in a hot start. This happens for either of the two offered FCUs.

    Any help is appreciated!

  • Keep the mouse pressed on the 2d start button and I use the throttle keys Ctrl + F3 to advance the throttle

  • lol no warm up for 1 min... then roll upto 70% gas producer rpm... then generator on.... :P hehe

  • I use the TH-57 checklist for the Navy and a accompanying gouge. If engine down time >15 minutes, then warm up for 1 min. Then per gouge, go to 70% slowly, let the torque stabilize, then 80 and so on. If you go to 100% immediately, you'll note a spike in torque to about 50%, equals extra wear on the main trans.

    I never worried about it until it cost me 5000 DoDo dollars to overhaul after about 15 hours flight time. The DoDo is sensitive, and it doesn't forget abuses. I behave myself now.

  • Yea I know I wasn't following the check list I just wanted to show the world the dodo

  • You forgot the TOT gauge light ;)

  • UGH! I can't wait until my paypal goes through!

  • Yea
