Cuban8 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 A bit more background please. Which curve in particular (N, 1, 2) - what is the exact nature of the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocker Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 In the manual the Throttle curve are set at L==0% 2=25% 3=25% 4=25% H=25% This can not be right it will not get of the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban8 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Yes, just had a look at the manual and that does seem odd. A normal curve should look more like 0, 25, 50, 75, 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban8 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Have a look here **LINK** looks like this has foxed some others as well - seems to be connected with the ESC's governor. Quote I preset mine, I think the 0 is there just for binding purposes. The flat 25% is just there to tell the esc to use the low headspeed, the 75% tells it to use the middle headspeed and 100% is the high. It's not actually the throttle percentage that will be used." I still fly the old non-stabilised, fly bar stuff so maybe someone a bit more up to date could help. Have you followed the manual and tried to fly it - Eflite are usually pretty good.

GrahamC Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Don't have one, but do have a hell with a governor, and it looks like whats going on is that the ESC is looking at the throttle channel, not for a speed input but in order to know what mode of governed headspead it should attempt to manage. In other words unless the throttle stick is right back - which it needs to be for binding, the ESC will attempt to maintain a set headspead regardless of the blade position. Whereas a more conventional setup might use say 80% throttle at centre collective and 95% at 100% collective to maintain head speed when there is more drag on the blades, this ESC is doing all that for you, and it looks like a 25% throttle input tells the ESC to select the head speed for normal flying. If it were me, would try it as they recommend. Looks like the the ESC is programmed to fly the hell right with that setting. The e-flight esc's that I have seen all have a very soft, soft start, so let it spool up before you attempt to lift off Edited By GrahamC on 05/02/2015 12:16:35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 This is worth a look. Worth reading through the comments too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
