Programming Options Descriptions 1. Aircraft Type • Fixed-wing: in this mode, the motor only starts up when the throttle amount reaches 5% or above and it responds to the throttle input rapidly. • Helicopter (Governor): in this mode, the motor only starts up when the throttle amount reaches 40% or above. - Page 12 2. Brake Type: The throttle range changes depending on the Brake Mode Signal position as shown on 100% -100% Spektrum transmitters -60% Throttle signal (pulse position) 100% Normal Brake The motor brake will activate when the throttle stick is moved to the low position.
- Page 13 Proportional Brake With this option selected, the throttle range changes so the ESC will not start below 20%. The throttle will operate as normal above 20%, but moving the throttle below 20% will apply the brakes, increasing in strength as the signal drops to 0%.
