[NSRCA-discussion] Plettenberg Advance 30-10 ESC - Questions

I just went thru this for Brandon with his new Andes . He also has flown HIMAX and Edge 80 HV   Now he is flying Pletty with 120 Edge HV Lite – I spoke to Castle about amp draws, airflow. Airflow is critical for all. However with the 120 lite running at 75 amps most times and bumping up to 90 amps for intermittent use

Airflow on the Edge 120 HV Lite is not an issue. Also it is 8 grams lighter than the Edge 80 amp HV.

Zero concern for a Castle 80HV at 100 Amps for pattern use.  I use the lite version and is also fine but needs to have good cooling

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Plettenberg Advance 30-10 ESC - Questions 

 

I’m getting ready to build an Alchemy and committed to buying another plane that should arrive late August/early September, and will have it built/delivered RTF. Both will get a new Plettenberg Advance 30-10. I’ve purchased the Pletty for both planes already.

 

This is a big change for me as I have been flying a Himax 6330-210 Pro w/ a Castle HV80 ESC since 2011. This set up has been reliable for me, but I am ready for a change.

 

I really like the Castle ESCs, but I don’t want to fight the Pletty. Also I have seen some data that the Pletty can pull up around 90+ Amps based on some posts I have read on various forums. I don’t know if it is normal for a Pletty to be over 80 Amps.

 

What is the preferred ESC for the Pletty?

What settings for the ESC?

How is your Throttle Curve set up? I have a Futaba 18sz.

 

I will likely be flying a Falcon 3 blade 19  x 13.5    to   20 x 12.5

 

Best Regards,
