Kontronic Heli jive 101

[Geek]

Any one that using one got any tips?

Had a setup this morning on a 700e with Scorpion 530Kv

Ended up using mode 6 but very low numbers for Governor

Is 35% to low?

I don't know the heli jive but 35% does seem rather low. It would suggest that if you cannot change the pinion the motor kv is too high. SO two choices; get a pinion with less teeth or get a motor with a lower kv.

I was getting 1800 at that %
I don't want a high headspeed yet.

More bits to buy before this thing flys

As an idication only I have seen a few 700 size models using a 450kv motor in order to use a reasonable size pinion for surface area coupling to the main gear and also to get the governor figure closer to 80% where the Jive runs better.

Paul, there have been a few threads about both the LogoSE and the TDR running very low HS. I have seen figures as low as 32% with the Kontronic with no issues. It is mainly cheaper ESC's that have lower quality components that need the % higher, so they do less work to keep the temps down.

Found my low throttle to be 140 thanks to my last setup from Castle

Thanks again guys

Here's a good video for programming mode 4 with auto bailout without the progdisk...
