All good now - Very Good unit

Ok I apologize if I cause any storm yesterday by selling it within a day.
The unit were working decent, except the governor is not performing well. It is working but it just not smooth and it feel like it is a bit reactive then pre-active it suppose to be like VBAR governor. So i was quite disappointed thus want to sell it as it is not mathcing up to what I have now with mini-vbar.

Watch a couple of flying videos last evening, listening closely to how the rpm react, and believe something is not right with my setup.
After looking through, I think my problem is my TX throttle , SK540 and ESC is not match up probably.

It is all now resolved, and what a great unit and the governor is perfect, as good as VBAR governor that I am use...granted only two flights with proper setup, but I don;t think I am missing anything.

The Hyperion and Egaletree both work well, the governor performs really well.

You just need to be careful to setup the chain in the right order.
1. Straight 0-100 line in the TX, set to full throttle
2. Power on the ESC and wait for the double beep, slowly move the stick down and wait for six beeps and the confirmation beep.
3. Test that with no blades on and see if the sensor records the headspeed (given the fact you set up the gear ratio an all.
4. Then, when that works set up the min max throttle in the SK and after that set the speeds.
5. Now set three straight lines in the TC : 40, 60 and 100 %
6. Power on the SK and see if it reads your switch settings
7. Now test the whole system on a dry run, see if it switches to the different speeds and after that check that it records those.

I am using Hobbywing 100A LV , Eagletree or Hyperion sensor and with SK540.





Enjoy your SK540 got hose who got it, for those who have not...you should pick up one from LHS. I got mine from RCS on Monday and I know he still have some for now.
