Default Re: Help w/ new speed controller

Chris and Tom,

I fiddled with the trims and it seems to work as you (Chris) describe. Part of my trouble came from the fact that I am using custom mixing on elevator and aileron stick to run the motors, so it was difficult to set the trims. I also did not have trims activated in the mixing and I don't understand exactly what that means, but it is close enough at the point.

I do have another set of the controllers on the way without the brake.

And last night during some early testing on a dirt pile I blew up one of the motors. I think the gearbox broke. Going to look at that this morning. I have another set of motors that may actually work out better.

Keep your fingers crossed! With any luck I will be able to get some video today. Since I will be taking it apart for the motor swap, I will get some pictures of the detail.

Jim
