Programming a Kontronik Sun 300 ESC?
Greetings,
I am a new to electric R/C flight and I have a question about programming my Sun 3000 ESC. I recently purchased a Cermark cobalt 05 6turn motor and the aforementioned ESC through an online auction, but I did not get owners manuals witth either item. For safety reasons, I would like to know 1) how to program the ESC so that there is an arming/disarming function, and 2) how to set the brake. (I have downloaded the instruction booklet, but while the brake is mentioned, I see no instructions for setting/changing the brake.)
BTW, I would welcome any comment on this power set-up for my project...
My plane is a scratch-built (but rather extensively modified) version of Al Eastman's Ampmaster. I found the plans online, but modified things so that it has a definite "Extra" look. It has a span of 48" and should weigh in at about 55 oz. (all up).
(see pictures)
Cermark recommends 8 cells as a max, but I have read that this set-up will handle 10 cells and the extra voltage should be worth the weight penalty.
I would appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks,
Joe
