Thanx
You want to set the ESC first to use the full range of the transmitter. Here is something I wrote some time ago:
ESC Settings:
Set ESC to fixed initial point of 1.000 msec and end point to 2.0 msec
Transmitter Settings:
Turn off the Throttle cut and Idle down.
Set the throttle ATV and AFR to yield something close to 2.000 msec on the high end and 1.000 msec on the low. My high end Is 2.008 using the Jeti box to measure pulse width. (It doesn't appear to require external power when measuring pulse width)
With the Throttle Cut and the Idle Down turned off, set the low end to slightly over 1.000 and then fine tune it by setting the desired idle with the throttle trim. My throttle trim is set to yield 1.034msec
Set the Throttle Cut to 2%. When it is turned on my pulse width is 0.884 msec.
With the Throttle Cut off set the Idle Down off set to yield slightly less than 1.000 msec to activate the brake. Mine is set to 61% to yield 0.985 msec.
Operation:
TurnThrottle Cut and Idle Down off.
Turn transmitter on.
Turn receiver on.
Check controls and pull throttle back.
Turn Throttle cut on. ESC will arm.
Turn throttle cut off and jog throttle stick to start motor.
Touchup idle. Should only need to do this once. It will be very repeatable.
Turn Idle Down on. It will apply the brake and stop the motor when the stick is pulled all the way back. It will not completely stop the motor in the air.
Turn idle down off, start motor and go fly. Turn the idle down on to activate the brake with low throttle when flying. I leave mine on except for the spins as I don’t want the motor to stop in the air.
Some transmitters may not allow pulse widths of less than 1.0 msec so I would now suggest setting the low end to 1.1 msec. The concept is still the same.
