Jim, you only set them once. ATV +-100% for Futaba.
I have posted the instruction manual for the Futaba ESC: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10...m.htm#11077282

Thanks again. It is not clear if you can turn the brake on and off in the air by changing the low end pulse width. My current Spin 99 setup gives me idle at low stick position (no brake) and "brake" when I switch to a shorter pulse width. In the no brake condition, I do have to jog the stick to get it started initially but once it is started it transitions off of idle very smoothly and the motor never stops. If I have the brake on, lower pulse width at low stick, it is not a smooth transition from off to idle. My YGE does transition from brake to idle very well and it is what I was hoping the Futaba might do too.

I assume with the Futaba programming technique you would get "brake" at low stick position and would need to switch to a higher pulse width to get an idle at low stick. Is that doable? How do you set it up?
