V-22 Osprey Project - Tuning and Setup
ESC SETUP I used two Castle Creations Talon 60 ESCs for the V-22 Osprey. These ESCs are high-quality with an electronic governer designed for RC helicopters. Other ESCs with this feature are recommended. Using the CastleLink software and USB dongle, I set the following RPM parameters: Throttle Setting 2-blade 3-blade 20% 2600 2000 70% 2600 2200 100% 2800 2400 As with any standard airplane or heli it's important to calibrate the ESC endpoints as well. TILT SERVO SETUP The HiTec D85MG servos are digital high-torque metal-gear servos that are programmable. Using the HiTec programmer, I set the 1000us endpoint to the forward flight (0 degree) position and the 2000us endpoint to the hover (90 degree) position, with the 1500us center point in the middle (45 degrees). The programming of the servo is a bit challenging, as the endpoints set in the programmer coordinate roughly to 900us and 2
