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?

Yes Jim it's doable.


My set up for Plettenberg Advance 30-10 and 14MZ

ESC:
Battery Type: LiPo
Cutoff voltage: Auto
Battery cutoff type: Soft
Advanced Timing: 24º
Accelerations: Normal
Start Power: Lowest
Air Brake: On, 60%
Motor Pole No: 20
Gear Ratio: 1.0:1

Radio:
End points:
High 80%
Low 100%

The break is executed when the stick is at low position. I do not use idle. Startup is super smooth and transition from break to power is seamless.

I fly with APC 21x12WE in a Wind S Pro. The plane does not induce much drag so I only use 80 % power and have more than enough power for F3A in strong wind.
