Hi Denis, The reason for this is because the esc doesn't know your transmitters endpoints, e.g. 75% on the transmitter could be 90% in the esc (or the opposite). When the governor is setup, it will say a percentage of throttle to achieve the correct headspeed, if this is set wrong, the headspeed wont be correct. Thanks Tom
thanks tom but im still having issues that when i throttle to half, the head speed is what you would think. if i put the throttle down a quarter the engine virtually stops and then takes ages to power back to half throttle. the heli would never fly with this any ideas?
Hi Tom, useful video, thanks for that! One thing seems confusing to me. Namely, adjusting the ESC's end points, you've determined the range of 90% - 106% on your TX, that seems to "fit" the ESC and I understood you need to keep this travel setting on your TX, is that right? OK, so how come there's such a big difference between original TX travel range 0% - 100% and the one that ESC is accepting, like 90% - 106%? Thanks, Denis
Hey tom , I have trying adjusted the endpoint on my CC HV80 but struggle to set the high throttle endpoint the motor not beeping even the travel adjust up to 150max ( DX7s ) but low throttle endpoint was ok its beeping when travel adjust about 116 . any idea what happen ? im very sure TX norm throttle are correct which is 0,25,50,75,100 and travel adjust start from 0 . did I miss something ?
there isn't much difference from starting from 0, 30 or 50. It's just encase the travel in the esc is 45, it won't work to start from 50. So i start from 0 just to make sure, then increase until the esc beeps. thanks
I'm not sure about reset to default as I haven't programmed my esc for a while, so im unfamiliar with the software. It is hard to understand what is wrong with your settings, but it sounds like a governor problem. have you tried flying in non governor mode?
Is it normal for the Castle ESC's to beep every few seconds? Everything works but I have never used one of the HV ESC's and just want to make sure I am not doing something wrong.

Hi. When setting the throttle end points does throttle hold need to be inhibited, active or does it not make a difference?
good video! in your second video,, are you going to show how to set up auto rotate mode?
thanks.
I'm not sure, it shouldn't affect it as the throttle is separate from the collective pitch.
hey, that sounds odd. are you sure the throttle stick is at the maximum position?

thanks mate get info I used the same principles to program my castle edge 160amp. cheers
Thanks Tom ,good vid.
@carlocivicsi For auto rotate, I just hit throttle hold and the motor turns off. Thanks Tom
thanks tom! very helpful videos!
Im very sure , now I endup with my 600 with very low rpm very very low , can I reset the esc go back to default ?
I didn't use governor mode just set the endpoint , ill try reset back to default see if will back to normal
I can't get it to initialize for the end points. It won't beep

nice video
hOLY crap the rotor sound in the beginning made me think the heli im workin on suddenly spooled.
