I'm gonna find out if we can put 5 curves in the curve function. Problem is each motor will be different, even in the same brands. I<br>have different curves (none more than 15% curve) to make them all feel the same. I'll have to find out how 'smart' I can have a<br>controller made. Not sure I see that happening...<br><br>Regards,<br>Jason<br><a target="_blank" href="http://www.jasonshulman.com">www.jasonshulman.com</a><br><a target="_blank" href="http://www.shulmanaviation.com">www.shulmanaviation.com</a><br><a target="_blank" href="http://www.composite-arf.com">www.composite-arf.com</a><br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: <a ymailto="mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org" href="mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org">nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org</a> [mailto:<a ymailto="mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org"

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>You asked for suggestions. Not sure if or how easy this will be to<br>accomplish. :-)<br><br>Keith Black<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: <a ymailto="mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org" href="mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org">nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org</a><br>[mailto:<a ymailto="mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org" href="mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org">nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org</a>] On Behalf Of JShulman<br>Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 12:28 AM<br>To: NSRCA<br>Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Controller... what would you want in yours???<br><br>Hi all,<br><br>We (SA) are looking to have a new controllers with our new motors and would<br>like some feed back from pilots as to what you would<br>like to see included in the software in a controller.<br><br>Some things off the top of my head
