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

[mups53]

Guys many customers use Castle on a Pletty Advance but in the last few years less and less. Sales of CC related items are probably down 80% on their units versus 5 years ago.Graupner is very popular as well as Jeti.And for those thinking Graupner is done. Wait a few weeks. We're back.My issues with CC is the braking or lack of.It's never been up to snuff with others on the market. Also I like a BEC feature in the Graupner HV80 non opto. It makes for a slick easy to use redundant system.But hey whatever floats your boat is Saul Goodman.Mike Mueller Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

I have used the Pletty advance with a Castle HV80 in two pattern ships for years.  I can send you my program if you like Larry

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

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
