[NSRCA-discussion] Plettenberg 30-10 evo and Jeti ESC

[Robert Campbell]

Robert,

I think I know what's going on with your ESC.  When my buddies and I were flying Jeti Advance ESC's (we now fly Castle), we had to do "The Kabuki Dance" when we powered up to get around the auto calibrating feature.  We powered up the radio and the signal to the ESC, but not motor power.  We then showed it full idle and then full throttle, and then energize the battery to ESC circuit.  If we didn't, it would continually recalibrate the end points with each throttle input until it became confused.

  I would try reducing your acceleration down to medium or slow and see what that does.

    Hi Rob, the Static amps on the ground is 81 amps.  My throttle is limited to 85 percent.  Even changed out the speed controller and the same thing happened.   Really wish i knew what was going on?

    Robert,

     

    Which Jeti are you running?  Advance or Spin?  Just a guess, but all the outrunners I've run require low timing advance and some require fixed end points and the throttle to be limited to 70 percent or so.  Also, have your checked your set-up on a watt meter?  Sometimes our set-ups pull more current than we were expecting and the ESC over current protection kicks in.

     

    Hope this helps.

     

     

    Rob

      Is anyone out there running this combo.  Went flying today, and had some issue with the speed controller cutting out when i was setting up for my approach into the pattern.  I was pulling up and advanced the throttle to do an reverse cuban eight to get into my pattern, when the motor suddenly quit.  I pulled the throttle back and advanced it once again and the motor came back it did this on every flight except the first flight where i had no issues whatsoever.  my setting are high timing for the motor, low cut off voltage, acceleration high,

       

       

      thnaks in advance
