I own 3 Kingtechs that use the G1 ECU and 2 that use the G2 ECU and they all work as described.I guess you guys must think I'm either stupid or a lair, either way, best of luck in the future.
Ok, let's not go there. I appreciate everyones help. I believe I got it working earlier today but was in a rush(Valentine's Day dinner) so I didn't have time to post. I know I did this already yesterday but I think I may know why it didn't work and I will check tommorow. So I am using an AR Smoothflite and I believe it was Len who asked me to check about setting failsafe in the Smoothflite yesterday or the day before and it didn't seem to change things. I had "learned" the ECU with throttle from -100 to +100 and then extended my endpoints and set failsafe in the Smoothflite to somewhere around -125. Today I believe I maxed it out to -140 and now when I move trim up to start and the GSU shows "ready" and the blue LED turns on, the GSU will change to "TH Off" and the LED turns off when I turn the TX off. Yesterday there was no change when I turned the TX off so I think I needed to go further out of the learned range. Will check on that. Sunday it should be in the 40's here so I will do an actual start and turn off the radio and see if goes to idle for the two seconds before shutting down. Also interested in seeing if it shows a failsafe or if I have to go into the logs to find out. Thanks again for everyones help.
