Default 1221 and Jetcat ECU

Hi,

I am setting upmy first 1221 with Jetcat Titan. I had read somewhere that 50% versus 75% was to be the adjusted travel after the "learn " is done for the throttle failsafe. Anyone have experience with the 1221 and Jetcat ECU?

Thanks!
Dave

Hi Dave,

I'm running the 1221 Rx with my JetCat P120SE. Initially I set up the plane with throttle ATV at 100%, did the bind, then adjusted the ATV to 75% and did the teach. This is as per the instructions (version 6 ECU manual).

Later I heard here on RCU that Bob Wilcox recommended 50% (not 75%). So I adjusted the ATV down to 50% and redid the teach. No problems at all after 14 flights.

I'm not quite sure what Bandit Driver is refering to with the throttle stick at 50%.

Regards,

Jim

Dave,

I test flew a Fei Bao F-18 F for a friend with the 12X 1221 system. First flight was a flame out at reduced throttle. Called Bob and he said as above. Bind the rec at 100% throttle. Change ATV to 50% and learn the RC. No problems since the change. By the way the F-18 landed fine on dead stick maiden flight.
