Belt CP with Optic 6...throttle problem

[Hammer Man]

Hi,

I'm only just finding the time to unwrap and put my Belt CP together after nearly 9 months in the box. Its a CCPM 120 Swash, E Sky Gyro EK2-0704, ESC EK1-0350, Rx Hitec Mini6S, Servos are EK2-0500, Tx Optic 6 (Mode 1).

I've assembled and wired it.

Just managed to find out why the throttle was kicking in and starting the motor automatically when I pulled the elevator down twice ... believe that it was because the default Mode for the Model Setup that I chose - Model 8, is Mode 2. Strange though.

The problem I have now... is that it appears that I can only start the motor now by using the Engine-Cut switch, and I can only stop the motor totally by pressing the same button. But the cut off only lasts for 2 seconds before the motor comes to life again. Is this normal? How can I stop it totally? I have set T.Cut at -25%.

If anyone has some suggestions for Throttle and Pitch Curves for the Belt CP, can you please share them? I am currently setting the following :
Normal - 1 2 3 4 5
TCurve 0 26 45 72 100%
PCurve 0 5 6 8 10

Thanks in advance

You should trim your throttle in normal mode down until your motor /esc initializes. for a lot of reasons (mainly safety) i would advise to drop by a funfly to get some experienced flyer's advice! the beltcp can be very dangerous if not properly handled and i've seen people get stitches from just testing a setup that went wrong.

Thanks for the advise. Will definitely do that. Luckily for me, when I connected it for the first time, I had not mounted the main blades yet... it was a shocker seeing this thing initialize at full speed.

think u havent calibrated ur esc throttle endpts correctly. better goto a funfly near ur place..

north, east, west, central.. take ur pick

Thompson sounds quite central, maybe pop by bishan?

Yup. Ai Tong is my usual haunt.
