RE: Delayed Full Throttle
Most good pattern setups are loaded heavily enough that they will hurt themselves if run at full throttle for extended periods of time. This also means that the stray EMF in the motor can be substantial, and can confuse the ESC - cause a loss of timing.
What your situation may be.....
The newer versions of Castle software "anticipate" noise that could cause a loss in timing. Essentially what happens -
- the ESC senses a potential loss in timing
- the ESC ceases to increase power
- the ESC makes adjustments (timing, PWM if in OR mode)
- the ESC then increases power
With the logging of the ICE, you can see this by comparing the throttle stick position vs the power out.
If you were running older software, the delay would either go away, or there would be a "screech" when timing was lost.
I'm willing to bet the throttle delay is only happening with fresh packs on a hot day at the beginning of the flight when the throttle stick is moved rapidly. It is much less likely to happen in the air when the load on the motor has decreased.
