Default RE: setting idle on electric model

Hi Jim,

I've got a lot to learn.....

I've already set the fail safe to shut down (I think it is about 840ms pulse width now). My first eye opener was when I was testing this beast in my garage and the throttle was reversed.......

I'm hoping to make it to Hemet in August. I don't think I will be ready for Riverside in June, seeing as how that is only a couple weeks away and I still haven't flown the sequence yet. I've got at least one more IMAC event that I need to take seriously so I can have a chance to qualify for the shootout. After that, I can focus on pattern.

I love the power of the AXI/Flightpower setup but I am having trouble smoothing it out and getting it to shut down when I want. I should probably start a new thread on this topic but I have also seen a big difference in throttle performance between my flight packs (both Flightpower 5350 F3A packs). That is driving me nuts.
