Castle creation flight loggers

[Mr Rex 450]

Hi All

This may sound a newbie question but would anybody please take a look at my Trex 700 E F3c flight log and be able to explain to me how it reads as I don't really understand what a looking at and I am not sure if my Rex is happy, Its the F3c super combo it no modification . Any help would be appreciated many thanks .

You may get more help here: Castle Creations - RC Groups .

The only things that struck me were that the ripple voltage seems a bit high; and the RPM varies a lot.

Hey Dan, what sort of flight was it? Were you wanging it about 3d, hovering or bit of pootling about? If you click the individual boxes you can switch off each line or select one you want, having them all on the screen looks like bowl of multi coloured spaghetti. Can't help with actual readings as I don't know what they should look like, but the bottom horizontal line is time and the different colour vertical scales show amounts ? So if you noticed something strange in flight at around a minute you can look at log a minute along bottom scale and see if there is a spike or drop in voltage/ amps etc. It will definately help to know what sort of flight it was.

Thanks guys for you reply . The flight was just flying about the odd tail whip or to and a large loop .

If you just starting out it probably isn't worth worrying about, by all means check out the Castle site, it may be an idea to just have a hover for one battery and see how the readings look, this will give you something to work with. Have you set your idle speeds? IE throttle settings, as said above your rpm is up and down, if you set your idle/throttle 1 to a flat 80% the rpm should stay pretty flat unless you pumping the pitch up and down. If you do a hover test most lines should stay pretty flat unless something is wrong. If heli flies ok and you have no issues then don't worry about readings.

Thanks for the advise the heli apears ok in flight no probs

What strikes me is the current and wattage draw, being so low?,. wish mine were that low!
Ripple is ok, as for the T/R were you running curves?
Log looks fine .

Pitch 0 to 100 linier and throttle 95% flat . Thank you for the input
