RE: E-Flight Extra 260 with showstopper VPP
Ok here is the programming for the radio with VVP it doesn’t matter if is Mamo or Showstopper. Once again sorry for the delay on the reply.
First set the radio to helicopter mode so you can set the throttle and pitch curve and make sure you have an ESC with governor. Now find the switch that change flight mode usually is the one in the front or far back and it can have 2(normal and stunt mode position 1) or 3(normal, stunt mode position1 and stunt mode position 2) positions. Move the switch to normal mode and enter the programming mode on the radio. Find were you can select the pitch curve and set the curve in normal to start at 50% or 0 degrees pitch at the lowest position of the stick and 100% at the highest. Now set the throttle curve to 50% linear.
For stunt mode you want to have 100% forward and reverse thrust. So move the switch to position 1 now go to the pitch curve screen and set the curve to 0% at low on the left side of the screen and 100% at high on the right side. When the stick is in the center the pitch need to be 0. Now go to the throttle curve and set it to a V or U configuration with 100% at low, 50% on the center and 100% at the highest for a U will be 100,75,50,75,100.
If your not going to use an ESC with no governor here is the set up but be careful in this set up you can over amp the system and damage it. The good thing with this set up the prop will stop spinning not like with the governor that it’s stay spinning.
For normal mode find the switch and move it to normal position. Now enter the programming mode on your radio then select pitch curve and set it for a linear 60% this will be close to a 5 degrees pitch propeller. Now on the throttle curve it will stay as it is 0% at low and 100% at high.
For stunt mode move the switch to position 1 and enter the programming mode and once again go to the pitch curve screen. Set it for 0% at the left side, 100% at the right side and 0% when the stick is on the center. Now go to throttle curve and make a V shape line with 100% at low stick, 0 to 30 at the center and 100% at the high point of the stick.
This setup it’s just for start then you need to tune them more as you go until you achieve the best performance of the system. Make sure you are using a wattmeter to keep the amps under control. You may find that to much pitch that was set it’s hurt more than help by over amping the system. In this case reduce the pitch curve on the radio or adjust the endpoint of the servo. Make sure the servo has at least 20oz of torque.
Hope this help, any question feel free to ask here, PM or E-mail I’ll do my best.
Good luck.
