  • Page 9: Low Voltage Cut Off (Lvc)

    Low voltage cut off (LVC) When a Li-Po is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. The ESC protects the flight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff. Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power from motor in two ways: (1) Reduces power - ESC reduces motor power (recommended), (2) Hard cutoff - ESC instantly cuts motor power when the pre-set Low Voltage Protection Threshold value is reached.

    Preflight The transmitter and model setup CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, DO NOT install the propeller assembly onto the motor shaft while testing the control surfaces . DO NOT arm the ESC and do not turn on the transmitter until the Transmitter Manual instructs you to do so. Tips: Make sure all control sticks on your radio are in the neutral position (rudder, elevator, ailerons) and the throttle in the OFF position.

    Preflight Check the C.G. (Center of Gravity) Center of Gravity When balancing your model, slide the motor battery forward or backwards as necessary so the model is level or slightly nose down. This the correct balance point for your model. After the first flights, the CG position can be adjusted for your personal preference.

Until you know how much area will be required and have mastered flying your plane in confined spaces, choose a site which is at least the size of two to three football fields - a flying field specifically for R/C planes is best.
  • Page 24 While applying power slowly, steer to keep the model straight, the model should accelerate quickly. As the model gains flight speed, you will want to climb at a steady and even rate. Waco will climb out at a nice angle of attack (AOA).
