JP Gear with Xicoy LG15
 

I have a new Global Aerojet F15 inbound. I haven't had much luck with the JP controllers with gear doors or brakes. I want to use an Xicoy LG15 controller. What amp settings have you guys been using to prevent smoking the gear motors? Thanks

Tom I installed the LGC 13 in my hot with JP gear and it works fine on the default values.

When I installed those controller in my JP gear jets….I just asked Shane Yang on FB and while he said he didn’t recommend switching (y’a right) he told me the reading….it will I proved the break a little

Care to share your values?

I will look to see if I still have them….the value I had were for the T-1, mini t-1….

I can only find this one…it was for my t-1 his answer….

The retract of our ER-150 start max current is about 1.2A. the working current is about 0.8A.

Thanks guys. Gary Jones gave me his settings and with these I may be able to keep the smoke in. I think the T1 gear will be similar size and settings.

Would you mind posting the settings.
Thanks,
Tone

Mains 1.4 A, nose .8A. 13 sec retraction on mains, 9 sec on nose.

Thank you, Thank you,

Here is what I sent Tom from my testing with amp meter on the F-16 XL gear.

I set these values into the LGC-15 and they seemed to work OK. The problem I had was the brakes needed more voltage to stop the jet and as I recall the LGC-15 was limited to 2S LiPo. So I switched to a different brake controller.

Gear times and amps for JP F-16XL gear.

JP (Shaun) says 1.8 amps for the F-16 gear from an FB response.

Here's the max values I saw when I tested the gear

RMG 13 sec 1.4 amps
LMG 13 sec 1.4 amps
NG 9 sec .8 amps

I just used TLAR to set the unload time, I don't remember what value I used but it just unloaded the jack screws a little.

The LGC can use up to 3s for gears and brakes. However, it shares a power connection so you cannot run 2s to the gear and 3s to the brakes.

I think my JP gear controller was limited to 2S printed on the case. That's why I was using 2S for brakes at first.
Can the JP gear motors run on 3S LiPo?

‘Not if you want to keep the smoke in ;)

2s Only……

Yea, that's what I thought. Glad I kept the blue smoke in!

Coming soon to a hangar near me.

looks good tom.

How do you slow down the servos on the gear doors. Is it possible on the LGC13C.?
