Tell us more about the Futaba speed controller. Will the motor start smoothly at idle? Does the brake work? How does it compare to the Spin 99?

Thanks, Jim O

The Futaba ESC starts up the Advance super smooth. You can adjust the startup power in five different steps. I use the lowest power start up. The break works very well and the transition from break to power during flight is smooth. The ESC just works perfect.
I can’t comment on the Spin99. I have only done some test flight with other people’s planes.

If I were to purchase another ESC I will go for another Futaba ESC. The Futaba ESC is almost half the price of the Spin99.
