V-22 Osprey Project - Christmas Additions and New Flight Controller
After the failure last summer I had to put the project down for a while. After reviewing the footage and discussions online I decided that I needed new ESCs that had a governor mode and a new flight controller. The ESCs I was using came with the KDS helicopter model and were not high-quality units. Although similarly packaged, it was clear they were not 100% the same as the beep codes were a bit different and the throttle profiles were also a bit off. I tried to compensate with measurements and split throttle curves, but there was no way I was going to be remotely certain that the rotors would turn at the same speed. For Christmas, I got a pair of Castle Creations Talon 60 ESCs. I have some Castle ESCs in other models and they are wonderful! The price reflects their quality, though. I programmed these in three RPM bands I thought appropriate to start with: Normal: 2500 Idle Up1: 2750 Idle Up2: 2900 Based on the motor, gearing ratio, recommended headroom, and gut feel these seeme
