<DIV>Keith,</DIV>

<DIV>I think this could be completely automatic. I don't know how to do it but I am sure that someone can figure this out. This could built in the controller. Probably measuring voltage, throttle position and rpm of motor.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">This actually should be pretty straight forward. When the battery is connected if the voltage is lower than X (set by user, say 40 volts), an alarm goes off (beep beep beep) and you have to pump the throttle stick (or something like that) to stop the alarm. This is really a good idea Vince!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>-------------- Original message -------------- <BR>From: "Keith Black" <tkeithblack@gmail.com> <BR><BR>> Better throttle curve control. Currently we have linear and expo, but <BR>> neither work that great in my opinion (at least on my Hacker 90 <BR>> controllers). It seems like often I move my throttle one or two clicks and <BR>> the plane surges (especially with really strong batteries). I know it's <BR>> possible to adjust this at the transmitter, but given different battery <BR>> strengths (remaining charge, strength of pack, etc.) that doesn't do the <BR>> trick since one curve will work good at the beginning of the flight, while <BR>> battery is peaked, and another is needed later (or with an older battery). <BR>> The controller needs to moderate that spike and smooth the transition <BR>> through the entire curve regardless of the battery. <BR>> <BR>&g t; You asked for suggestions.
