Pilot Doesn't stay lighted (after ignition & releasing pilot) any suggestions?

Mine stays on after holding the pilot button down for about 10 seconds. Then I turn it to the on position.

I haven't installed mine yet, but typically if the pilot doesn't stay lit after holding the valve in the pilot position for a minute after lighting, it is usually either a fault thermocouple or the pilot flame isn't positioned correctly on the tip of the thermocouple. I am assuming that your gas pressure has been checked and the pilot flame is adjusted correctly.

When I plugged in mine it had a low red glow with no numbers lit until I started flight simulator. Ocasionally all the numbers will stay lit as well after I shut down flight simulator as well. Double check the forums on avsim.com or the saitek website if it keeps acting up.

Mine does similar, will be out, then come on after headlights briefly hit the panel

Turn control knob to off, depress knob and turn counter clockwise to ignite, hold for 30 seconds, then turn to pilot

Check the light scribe site and make sure the drivers and software are installed properly. I had the same problem but now I'm burning custom discs with awesome templates from their site. Also stick a light scribe DVD in the drive upside down and see if it opens the lights drive automatically.

I saw this hint in comments about another light. It fixed mine. Try tapping the body of the sensor with the power off.

Yes it has a pilot light. To light the pilot light- push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the first indent. hold the knob in for 5 seconds.then press the ignighter button on the left side. You willl hear a small puff when the pilot light lights. Then youn can turn the control knob up tp light the flame. To keep the pilot light on just do not turn the knob to the full off position. Of course you have to put a battery in the ignighter.

I've only had mine awhile but I learned if you turn it to pilot, hold it down for 5 seconds then push the ignitor, it lights.

Yes I have the same issue. You have to it ignite then move it to regular(hi-lo) hopefully it will stay lit. I have to do it several times for I can never make it work

Hold the knob in until burner lights all the way across, still holding it in turn up flame slightly and release should stay light

Can you get the pilot lit at all if you can hold it for several minutes to make sure the thermocouple warms up if it goes out right away after you take your finger off the red button then there might be some other problems

Spike, I've found there are two situations when I feel like I have to hold the button in forever before it lights: the first is when the ambient temperature is very cold - in the twenty to thirty-five degree range; the second is after I release the button too soon and the pilot-light goes out before the thermocouple reaches the temperature where it will allow the gas to flow. For some reason it seems every time that happens, subsequent attempts find it very difficult to light. I've been able to resolve these problems with help from a grill-lighter (one of those lighters with a long nozzle, available everywhere for around three-dollars) If the heater doesn't light after holding in the ignition button for about ten-fifteen seconds, try again after holding the flame from the lighter underneath the thermocouple for ten-fifteen seconds (the thermocouple is located just to the left of the pilot light, it's easy to see) Hope this helps.

I have the same. First time it happened, Bosch fixed it. Last night, while doing some light planing, it happened again!

Shut the light off at the source. That is what I have done. When I need it I switch it back on. Otherwise call the company.

It does not light up unless Flight Simulator is running. But you should really plug this into a powered USB for best performance as the LED's use power and make sure to install the software drivers first.

Make sure your throttle trim is all the way down, and that your throttle stick is as well, while initializing. It is a safety thing these radios have so it can't fly off as soon as it binds, and you have time to get your hands clear. Also, try holding the transmitter close to the heli as it binds.
