You will need to purchase the Prog Unit to make changes.
Prog Disc is no longer available.

if you are on version 4.5 i woudl suggest updating to 4.5.1 to make sure you dont have any issues with the sd card not saving logs

Ok. I will check. Thanks...just got it mounted..use a bic pen body for the stands and fuel tubbing to fill the center of pen body .soldered these angled copper termimal lugs i got at homedepot for the motor wires.

You'll be happy with that motor too.

I have one in my 770 off a Kosmik 200.

Heaps of grunt

you mean capacity limit? if you are running 5000mah packs you set it to 4.0 ah which is 4000mah which is 80% of the packs capacity used.

What section did you get these in? Do you still have the package they came in?

[iheliflyer]

In electrical.....1.87$ for one pack that has 2 qty. I removed the set screw, found 2 bolts that barely threaded into the 2 side holes to keep the solder in .

[iheliflyer]

Yes. Capacity limit. Thanks.. so if 4200mah then set to 3.3-3.4?

yup i would go with 3.3 as it would always take a short time to get back and land.

no under voltage behavior makes under voltage a hard cutoff per the description in the manual.

you can run either it is up to you. if you are running a lot of batteries of different ages i would run store and use your weakest to do your first spool up. otherwise you can use it to not have to wait for the governor to kick in before taking off in normal flight.

So yes on the under v. B. And i only have one set of lipos so then just gov.

No you do not want to check under voltage behavior.

[iheliflyer]

Ok. Thank you. I will uncheck it.

Hi.. so i have 5 flights on the mostro with the kool 160. Seems awesome but every flight about halfway thru i get one bog on a hard move which can be heard and makes the tail kick. Why?
