I had my Giles 202 w .91 Supertigre up yesterday and feeling a little feisty I was putting it through it's paces. After what seemed about 7 minutes of pulse elevating low passes I decided to check my timer.
Much to my surprise the display was completely blank. Actually it was more like me screaming "Oh Sh*t!! Emergency LANDING!"
I fully expected the controls to disappear at any moment. After getting the plane on the ground I calmed down enough to realize that all the controls were there. I let the radio stay on long enough to hear my count down timer signal end of fuel then turned off the transmitter.
When I turned it on again the display was OK.
Any clues? Solar flares? P.O.M.? (Phase Of the Moon)
BTW, anybody else getting blue streaks in the display every now and then?
Cheers,
Roy
