THE THREAD TITLE SHOULD READ........ESC Programming Cards Compatibility - Hobby King/Aerostar
I have a Durafly Tundra from Hobby King, a foamie for easy flying when I don't feel like firing up nitro engines, and I have two problems.
The motor intermittently, and randomly, starts to run in reverse, not a problem before takeoff, or even after landing, but can create a difficult situation in the air. I've spoken with HK, and their fix is to buy a Programming Card, and change the direction of rotation. That may be OK, except it's not always running in reverse, only occasionally, possibly as much as half the times I put power on. If I reverse the direction of rotation, I think it will still be doing the same thing, i.e., reversing, so still running in both directions. Does anybody have any ideas?
The second involves a programming card. I'm happy to buy one at a few $$ because I'll probably have the aircraft for some time, but the Aerostar card is out of stock at HK. They do, however, have the HobbyKing card, and they look identical, with programming wording also almost identical. They could, of course, be vastly different, even though they look alike.
These are the links to both

Does anybody have experience with these cards, or able to tell me if they are the same card, or compatible?
