I was just thinking of starting a new thread on the Spin to see if anone is happy with them.
140 flights and no issues with my Spin 99. Setting are:
Manual brake 12% initial, 68% final (prop just stops as plane is touching down.)
21 degrees timing (was running 25, plenty of power with 21 and a few less amps.)
1.0 sec acceleration
Slowdown cutoff
Initial point auto - on
End point 2.0 (output pulse measured at 1.93...Jeti says to be less than measured for high stick but full throttle was reached too early)
Auto inc end - off
Expo throttle curve (12Z transmitter, 3 point spline, point 2 at -17, +22 rate)
I fly with an idle up set for about 400 rpm (once motor is running...just flipping on idle up will not start the motor.) I went the idle up route because a few times early on, after an extended down line, it would make an awful noise on throttle up if I got into the throttle too quick.

Scott, glad to hear you are having good luck with your Spin. I will probably get another when the 'normal or usual' feedback on them is positive. I was an early buyer and I suspect some of my issues have been resolved at this time.
Have you checked M, Amp and Volt data recordings against a known source? My logged RPM data was ok, but Volts and Amps weren't even close.
