Default Jive LV 60+ mode 11 question

Since I have some different lipo-packs, I want to use mode 11. This mode keeps the rpm over all my packs constant (more or less), so I don't have big differences in rpm.
Especially on the tail.

I know the first spool up in mode 11 sets the rpm through all the packs.
But which of my packs is the best suited for this first spool up? The new lipo or the older one (a little bit weaker but still performing very good)?

I tend to use the weaker pack so the wanted rpm's always can be delivered by the lipo in use.
I realize that this way the stronger pack will not be used to it's max, but that doesn't matter to me sportflyer + (very mild 3D).

always use the weakest pack to set the initial rpm. and if you go out and buy some new packs and throw the old ones away just do a mode 1 then mode 11 and reset the store rpm for those newer packs.

oke, thanks.
Will do it right now.

And just tried it.
But still 1 question:
I have to spool up in Idle 2 I reckon (75% flat).
Otherwise the max rpm will be the one from Idle 1(65% flat), and I cannot switch it higher anymore?
Or do I spool up in normal to 100% throttle?

no you can use any setting it simply stores a scale of throttle in to rpm out this can be done with any govenor setting. also why is your throttle curve so high? 75% is well above the ideal point.

I already lowered Idle 1 to 55% and Idle 2 to 65%.
Remainder of another ESC. Recently read about the 50%+1/2 Throttle% formula.

Just did some testflying.
After 1e spoolup on my weakest lipo on 65%, everything worked fine.
The only thing I changed by progdisk is the lipo-setting to slowly shutdown instead of a cutoff.

So thank you.
