Read the instructions, it explains everything. The programing card just makes programing easier than using the transmitter sticks.
Brake Off
Battery LiPo
Cutoff Soft
Cutoff voltage Low or Medium. Low runs the risk of damaging the battery, medium ups the risk to cutting off power to the plane if you run the battery low.
Start mode Normal
Timing Low
Cell- not sure this is a choice in the ESC- Auto?
Governor Off
If you use the default settings you'll be good.

Thanks for posting the photo, I just ordered one. Can someone post the settings that should be used, at least that way I, and maybe a few others will not be guessing at what should be changed.

Originally posted by xviper View PostI have that card but personally, I've never found the need to use it. One would only use it to either confirm what's already in there OR to change some or all of the parameters OR to put it back in the event that you accidentally changed something when you were trying to do a throttle calibration, in which case, would you even know what parameters to put it back to? Most of these ESCs come ready to go with the default settings out of the box. For throttle calibration, you don't use this card anyway.

On the contrary..Default timing on HW escs are usually Med ( check for yourself)so need to be changed to Low especially for the Inrunners & the Card makes this simple..I usually set my battery cutoff to the lowest .. Not that I would run it down low but on the off chance it happens it’s cheaper to lose a Battery than a Plane..:)

Just swapped the fan for an fms 2000kv inrunner from horizon(2100kv direct from fms on backorder). Flight times went from 3:30 with 3.8v to 3.77v per cell remaining to 5 min with same volt per cell avg. Better vertical,slightly shorter take off (doesnt seem much faster though) Quieter than stock but still has a nice jet "woosh" sound.I got similar results with the same swap in my mig 21. Im sold on inrunners.Still flying P.15, avanti(#2), mig 21, yak 130 70mm(#2), f35, f9f panther, a10 64mm, F8 crusader/ PA ultimate amr /HK skipper, durafly dh vampire, p 51,spit mk24, corsair, flybeam/ BH f86 50mm, deltawing 50mm/ HH su 26 mm,umx pitts,umx sbach, blade nano cp s,blade 450x, inductrix 200, inductrix pro, umx yak 54,umx f27 fpv/ electrifly 4s L39/ flyzone beaver/ volantix asw 28, /dynam B26

So far, using the settings as they come, have been quite satisfactory for me, so I don't want to risk screwing something up, which I fear I'm likely to do delving into stuff I know very little about. The only time I fiddled with the programming was when I transplanted components into a different plane and quite frankly, I couldn't tell the difference in the way the plane performed no matter what settings I chose. Instructions I've read on some ESCs I have, have indicated that "med" or "auto" is sufficient for general applications. Sports cars, I tweak. Model planes, I usually leave it as is.

Originally posted by HOSSINARIZONA View PostJust finished the maiden and 4 more flights, what a great flying plane! The only thing I will comment on is the roll out, I fly off of a paved 700 foot runway, and once I touch down it almost takes the full length to stop, even if I set down at the very beginning. I am using flaps and come in fairly slow.
Has anyone found a way to put some sort braking device on the main wheels, I was thinking of some type of "O" ring on the axle to rub a bit on the wheel hub and the landing gear strut, other than actual brakes I don't know of a way.
Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.
I purchased these to add onto my L39 but have not installed them yet. Direct replacement for the stock wheels and tires 4mm axle will run off the 6S pack with a adaptor
"The JP Hobby Electromagnetic Control Aircraft Braking System is the easiest to use and most reliable aircraft braking system available. It replaces the old style pneumatic and servo applied remote control braking systems. This design allows for easier installation and better control of braking. High grade aluminum construction with ball bearing wheels and replaceable hollow rubber tires. input Voltage: 7.2 - 30 Volts
NOTE: these are the NEW VERSION control boards. The braking force is now controlled by the servo travel/endpoints you set in your TX. The brakes can set a 2 or 3 position switch.

great guys to work with

Is a 50c rated pack enough, or should I look for something a bit higher? I know a lot of people are using the Admiral 5000 mAh 50c batteries, I would even consider a 6000 mAh battery since there is so much room in the battery bay, and the flight times would go up from around 3 1/2 minutes to over 4 minutes I would think?
Thanks in advance for any additional help.

Decided to try and get some video of my Arctic Aggressor repaint today since I didn't get any yesterday while doing the F-18 maiden. I only took two batteries along so I'd leave the field earlier in the day as well. Yesterday about killed me staying til noon. I was on my way back home before 10:00 this morning and as a result, don't feel as dead. I was flying a bit on the aggressive side for this video and tracking left a bit to be desired. I didn't allow quite enough weight shift for the flight pack to compensate for the extra weight of the tag and was a little nose heavy as well.
I wasn't flying as aggressively on this flight as I did during the "Arctic 1" and the Soloshot tracking worked pretty good overall. Even if it hadn't this would have been my "keeper video" just for the landing. It's not often that I make a nice smooth one, and even more rare is for it to be caught on video.
