Increasing throttle trim with a switch ?

Post by rcguy1958 »

I've been trying to set up a switch to increase low end throttle trim, idle up I suppose. Just trying to keep the prop spinning when throttle stick is in the lowest position so my esc doesn't lag when numerous large changes in throttle position in 3D flight are made.

You could use a curve.

One way to do it would be to set up a throttle where the low point is say, -90% instead of -100. Then use a switch to replace one curve with the other.

ie: using the rudder switch in this case.

[tab=30]+100%THR Switch(!RUD)
[tab=20]R +100%THR Switch(RUD) Curve(c1)

I use a low limit of about - 92%, and a safety switch at - 100% on my P-51.
So when I release the safety switch I start the engine at idle :)

The switch needs to be on when the model is powered of course, otherwise the esc will shift its input curve.
Might not work with all escs.
