Any body know a cure to the quick start , without giving the heli a "hand job", seem to be an OK controller but after my previous brushed ESC not that impressive on start up for a Heli unit. Is there a software update?
Also if I plug it in with throttle hold selected it seems to throw the previous trim curve - just mine or what?

Thanks Ron, I have mine set to 0,40,85,90,100 so that would make sense, I still think a little internal soft start ramp may be a good idea for future units, I will re-prog my TX for and idle up mode as suggested.
I normally strart my heli with throttle hold selected to inhibit kicks but it seems to throw the ESC and the trim disappears, do you think it may be seeing too lower value at start up for the zero point? Now I know I will not use throttle hold but this new technology bugs me when I think we maybe going backwards.
I have not tried the govenor mode as although I have set it up on the bench without the pinions I have read it can pack a real punch at startup.
I am a little lost on govenor mode anyway, how does it know where to get the value for constant RPM from?? is it from the 50% hover point setting of the throttle curve, if so how do you go on if you are using a "V" curve, I know it must work as all you guys are using it but its still a little dark in this brain of mine!
regards

Setting normal or governor mode

Hi Huys,

I just received by Logo 10 today with Hacker 40-3P ESC. Can you enlighten me as to how you set it up for normal vs governor mode, I will want to fly gov mode - so how do I go about setting it up for this. Is the above advice assuming gov mode too?

The instructions give lots of options for other things, with various bleeps, but I can't figure out this bit.

Thanks,
David.

OK Ron, I know how to physically set up my Hacker into govenor mode, and the ESC will try to maintain the % throttle setting by raising or lowering the output power to cope with external demands on the rotor disk.

So if I just leave my throttle curve at (idle up 1) 0,40,80,90,100 at the hover the ESC should not try to power up my heli any faster than normal, but will try to maintain rotor RPM during flying. So I should not see a great difference for normal drifting around.

To make the most of the govenor I need to set my idle up 2 to 80,80,80,80,80 and then for any position of the pitch curve the ESC should try to maintain the same RPM, as I had in the normal (idle up 1) hover point. This switched after spool up.

I am still using the normal throttle curve, to slow start the rotor disc as previously discussed.

If I have interpreted correctly and my Hacker will allow different idle up positions I should be up and away. I will try it later this week and let you know.

Dr Lodge , go to GMRO setting up advice on a previous post Dec20 2002, it was the only thing I read that made sense to me, a great insight into the Hacker - Mr Hacker please note.
Use the search to find it, print it and have it by you while playing.
Have fun

Ron, John,

This is great, clear instructions which make a lot of sense. I hadn't figured that the gov/standard setting with the stick at full throttle was a *toggle* function.

I will try this out with the motor disengaged from the main gear using v low throttle settings (as there will be no load) so I can play around to get comfortable with this, and check which way round the motor is turning!

As I have a 9ZAP Tx, I can use those 13 points on the curve to ramp things up v gently.

Thanks very much, indeed.
David.

governor startup

Hi Ron,

With ESC on GOV mode have some truobles when I start on normal mode before to switch to idle1 (governor 75% 75% 75%).
Rpm unconstant and some tail kicking.
I run a Hacker C40 13s and a 40-3p bec with fx18 tx (3 set points)
The normal ramp is set to 0% 50% 100%.
No troubles at all with ESC in normal mode.
Do you have any idea?

thanks
