[NSRCA-discussion] C50-14xl Hacker vs. Jeti Spin 99

[Jon Lowe]

I ended up with a C50 Hacker and a Spin 99 in a test airplane I bought.  I'm ending up with a lot of deadband at the lower end of throttle stick movement.  Settings are as follows:

0 degrees advance (on Andrew Jesky's advice also tried 3 degrees with no difference.)
8kHz
1.0 to 2.0 ms throttle range fixed
Acceleration 1 sec.
Linear throttle (tried expo with no difference)
Lipo 10s
3.0v per cell
Slow-down

Brake:
Deadtime 0.2s
Initial 30%
End 40%
Brake speed 0.5s

The ESC arms ok.  I raise the trim until the motor just starts, then back it down until it just stops, and I end up with at least 1/4" of movement on the throttle stick before the motor starts.  I've used outrunners and Pletty Advances with both Castle and OS ESCs and never had this problem before.  Never had an inrunner before.  What am I missing?
