Its arrived and I've just stated the build :)

Does anyone know the best settings for an IceLite 100, with the slick I had to alter the LVC and other settings, also I've read that something needs to be done with the brake settings.
Click to expand...

depends on what motor you are using and what you want to do. i never used a brake, but every motor has different timing settings

You can program some brake in, like 20% to slow your downline speed down.. Thats what they said in the higher plane dvd...I`m not good enough to notice much difference. The medium timing seems to work fine for my hacker, but you didn`t say what motor you were running..

I'm going to use a A50-16s and will be running it on 5000 mAh 6 cell batteries, I was going to have a go at pattern flying, at my level though I may not notice the difference with the brake on down lines, I just thought it would be handy to programme it in when I'm setting up, I know when I've first used the IceLite's in the past on my Slick & Extra I had to alter the LVC and a few other settings to stop the esc cutting power during a flight, as mentioned above, it would also be handy to kick off with the best timing setting.

Just set up a soft LVC then..check out the thread on the forum about battery tray failure..Its in the 3dhs section..I don`t want anybody else to end up like me..no big deal..#2 gonna be here tomorrow...default setting should be fine unless it starts backwards or makes noise as far as motor setting

Thanks for the pointer mazjag, I've just had a read of that thread, nasty

I usually go for velcro on the battery tray and a thinner strip of velcro along the battery length, together with 2 velcro straps, I'm pretty paranoid about that sort of thing.

No.

What size of prop and power system are you running? Is it outside of the recommended equipment?

Maybe you're just pickier than I am. I rarely fly mine in less than hurricane force winds, so maybe I just don't notice.

Yeah, that is the hard part..I haven`t flown enough pattern planes to know how well it should track..It just seems like the upline should be pretty dead on..I`m gonna just add washers and give it some more right thrust..If I don`t like it I can always take it out..
