    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    Yes I am in 12S. I need to get a new analyzer. I was told it would be around 3200 watts with my current setup. The motor power, motor, prop combo was chosen specifically to give me the same performance on the Extra as my MXS. I spoke to Ken extensively before I ordered anything. The purchase was...

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    I will end up trying to fly it as soon as I get back from vaca. I really don't need to fly it to see that it just doesn't have the burst power as my mxs. Its just so obvious. Like I said, if I was to firewall the mxs and try to pull it back, it would take off like a rocket. The extra will move a...

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    Based on taxi tests. I can pin the throttle full and pull it back (quickly) without moving very much. If I did that with my MSX, it would be in the air. Maybe is just how bigger planes are. With all of my other electrics, things respond instantly.

    So is it possible to do anything else to tighten up the throttle response?

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    I am using an 11x with XG11 firmware. As to the throttle on the gassed, I used my hi-tech servo progrrammer to set the servo to the center, then butterfly closed was the left setting, then WOT was the right setting. Next I used the travel adjustment to set idle. I don't know any better so...

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    So you want the prop to remain spinning even if the throttle is at the lowest position. It's for that reason, you need to use a throttle cut to shut things down when on the ground? I guess I need to learn how to set up a throttle kill on my plane. With my gasser it was easy, I used the gear...

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    I did exactly as you said, and while it is much better, it's not as crisp as I like or I am used to. Is there a way to tighten up the throttle response above setting the endpoints at start up? I haven't use the programmer via the PC, does this open up other options?

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    Wow, thanks for such detailed instructions. A question on the, "Throttle Cut". I do not have that on any of my electric planes. Is that necessary, I assume that is a safety feature that I might need to reconsider. Besides safety, is there any other benefit to a throttle cut on an airplane? As...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    What a beautiful plane and Daniel is just incredible. EF is so lucky to have him on board. I have been flying my 64" MXS and it flys so nice, this 85" looks like it flys the same. I will say I have never seen a more sensitive plane with respect to trim. One click of up trim is the difference in...

    CA glue whoops!

    I have used debonder several times, the trick is to tape off surrounding areas, and place paper towels close to the affected sera to wick in excess debonder. Get the affected area wet and let it sit. The CA will get soft and let loose.
