Hello again folks,
I put the Spin back in my Abbra with the Dualsky 6360 and have flown 11 more flights. I've had no cutouts or big noises in the air. I've tried timing from 21 to 24 degrees and acceleration from .5 to 2.0 seconds. The big problem is starting especially the first start of the day. It wants to run backwards. I try bringing the idle trim up slowly and bringing the stick up fast. Neither works. The best compromise is to set the idle trim where I know it will idle after it starts properly, and then start it with the stick. Sometimes it still wants to start backwards and it won't stop by bringing the stick back but only when the trim is also pulled back.
I could defiinately feel the lag in acceleration with it set in the 1.5 to 2.0 second range. The change in timing was not significant as far as I could see but the low timing and slow acceleration seemed to conserve energy. I used less than 3000 mAh on all flights that consisted of just the masters program. With many extra maneuvers I was still under 3500.
I guess one could get used to it but after seeing how great the Jeti/Hacker Master 90-0 works I'm not completely satisfied. I failed to mention that I've had the brake turned off through all of this. I guess I should try it to see if it affects the starting.

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.

Thanks for the feedback Scott. I will try the 21 degree timing and a longer acceleraion settings. The noise I heard was probably the same as yours as I was at the bottom of a fig. M getting back on throttle. I thought something broke.
