Default first flight on k200

ok guys
I just had my first flight on a kosmik 200 in my goblin 700.
I do have a few questions
I was flying testing everything out and around 4:30 to 5 minutes the motor started slowing down.... ( I wasn't flying hard just a couple of circuts and piros....)
so I brought it in and landed and put the batteries on charge (12s 5000) to see where the level was at on charge...the pl-8 said I still had 60% left.
so now I am assuming I don't have something set right in the 200.

I have the LVC set at 3v
and the Capacity Limit set at 5.0

where should these be set at and what else should I be looking at?

oh and another question
I have a dx18 and the throttle value goes from -100 to +100
for bail out set up manual says to set the value at 25%...
so on a dx18 would that be 25% -/+?
or would that be 25% from -100 = -75?

A slow down can be heat related as well.

Capacity limit cannot be set for 5.0. That's the entire capacity of the pack. If you flew all the way to capacity you would kill the pack. Set it to 3.8. That leaves just over 20% in the pack.

Lvc is fine at 3V.

Did you log the flight?

I use throttle cut on switch H at - 75 to engage an autorotation attempt. Hold is assigned to switch G. This is on a DX9

If its a brand new kosmik it should have a micro SD card pre-installed you can either post or email it to me (pm me and I'll give you my email) and I can take a look and see if there are any temp issue. You could also get log view setup and take a look for yourself.

ive been trying to set up log view but im not very computer smart...
I have been watching the video's but its going to take several times....lol
as far as the sd card im not sure if it was in it or not..i didn't pay attention...

but I did hook the progdic back up and I think the cap limit was set at 0000
I went back thru everything again and double checked everything so we will see how flight number 2 goes and I will make sure the sd card is in this time
thank you
