jh1144 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Hi! I need help from anyone who is experienced with the HS 748. I have tried everything, but my flight keeps dying about an hour into the flight. At first I thought it was to do with my prop, but I think it's more to do with the fuel trim/temp issues. Can anyone provide me any guidance? I followed the instruction manual, but still no luck. Thanks!of ____________________________________________________________ HP Pavilion Premium Gaming Desktop, Intel i5-7400 Processor, 8gb RAM, 1TB HDD, 3GB NVIDIA GTX 1060 Graphics, Bluetooth, HDMI, Windows 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadlzfw Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Possible issues: *You ran out of fuel...verify that there is fuel onboard. *Fuel is present, but it's all in a tank that does not or is not feeding...check fuel tank selector and that fuel is in a tank that you know feeds. Sometimes, there is a tank(s) with fuel in it, but regardless of tank selector position, the tank never feeds. *Fuel pressure is lost...set all pumps to 'on'. From what you've said, I agree that it sounds like fuel. Do the engines suddenly stop for no apparent reason? Nadlzfw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLW Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 You need to turn on the fuel heaters when the temperature is -20C or less. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpg Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 If we are talking about the Rick Piper HS 748, you should perhaps consult the fuel trim chart, and set the fuel trimmers according to your altitude and the Outside Air Temperature. Alternatively, you can just set the fuel trimmers to zero, and the aircraft will still fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you everyone, and please pardon my ignorance. :) ____________________________________________________________ HP Pavilion Premium Gaming Desktop, Intel i5-7400 Processor, 8gb RAM, 1TB HDD, 3GB NVIDIA GTX 1060 Graphics, Bluetooth, HDMI, Windows 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLW Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I should have also mentioned you must also pay attention to the power unit and air frame deicers on page 11 of the manual. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
