Hyper 50 cutting out

[t-rex pedro]

Get rid of it Pete and just use a header tank.
Glad you found it though.

I have to admit its been in there since I built the heli about a year ago so its lasted well. Overall I have no complaints with fuel magnets. I just should have changed it sooner as I have a pack of spare foams in the flightbox.

Ok, time to fess up.

Just rechecked the fuel magnet as what Tim said seemed to point in the right direction for two stroke problems. Guess what, the fuel magnet has broken up in the time its taken me to eat dinner. Must have been on its way out all along but looked fine at the field.

Cheers guys. Its good having you lot looking over my shoulder!!!

Fuel Magnet = Not worth the hassle

Just run a header

fuel magnets should only be run on crank case pressured engines, not an exhaust pressure based system for the exact reasons youve found. either that or like you said, change them more regularly.
