[NSRCA-discussion] Castle Phoenix 85HV help

[Dave]

Incheol,

 

The fixed throttle curve is preferred for airplane use.  Change to fixed
throttle curve, and then adjust your throttle endpoints to get the correct
power settings.  On my X9303, I usually end up with about 80-83% on the high
(you want the red LED on the ESC to turn on just as the throttle stick gets
to full) and 50-53% on the low (which gives me low idle with the throttle
trim in the middle).  The exact numbers depend on number of cells, motor,
etc.

 

Some of the outrunners at high power levels like the 1.5x software best,
others are running fine on the 2.11 (ESCs made before June 2007) or 2.12
(ESCs made after June 2007).  The 2.xx software may yield a smoother start
and lower idle with some motors, and the brake is silent when it engages.

 

Regards,

 

Dave Lockhart, Team Castle

Well, no luck on electric power setup?

 

I am using 85HV on Fliton Inspire 90 with E-Flite Power 110, 2 x TP
4S5000mAh packs for 8S.

 

Radio is JR X9303.  With auto-calibration for Throttle setting.  The ESC
doesn't get to full throttle with stick all the way up for more than 4
seconds specified in the manual.

 

ESC firm ware version is 1.55 right now.  There are several Beta versions,
but haven't tried one yet.

 

Is there some kind of incompatiblity between the 2.4Ghz & Castle?
