After a minor repair and given all the bad weather we`ve had here in Wales UK recently, I did spool one of my 400`s up in the living room recently, but it was just light on the skids to check the tail was setup properly Sorry to hear about your charging issue`s D.O.G. You`ve encouraged me to take Lipo safety more seriouslyDon't try it in the living room. The wife definitely was not happy back in the day when I spooled up my 600 in the living room (electric, not nitro. the nitro would have killed me with the way they give me headaches lol).
Thanks for your input Smoggie. I just put it back to default. I do have a silly question to asked everyone, if on the HW esc for flight mode, they have Elf governor for default but some say,"You-tube" to switch it to store governor mode. Why switch to store mode instead of default mode "Elf governor"?I find default a bit slow, I usually reduce it slightly. Maybe I'm impatient but in my experience 10s is still plenty smooth enough even in a large heli.
had you spooled up a nitro inside the house.... it would not have been the fumes that killed you, I assure you.Don't try it in the living room.

I have my start up time set to 25 seconds. It gives the gyros time to get with the program, especially when taking off from asphalt or concrete. It also gives me a chance to stop it, if I do something stupid, like not engage TH and bump the throttle.I have the HW 120a ESC and I had it set to default which is 15s which I thought it was fast so I've changed my to 21s. I'm curious what other have their start up time set at? or is that preference too?
Truth! lolhad you spooled up a nitro inside the house.... it would not have been the fumes that killed you, I assure you.
The advantage of 'Store' is that it calibrates on first spoolup and stores the setting. This means that you get exactly the same RPM on ever flight. ELF on the other hand calibrated on every spoolup and can result is a slightly different RPM every time.Why switch to store mode instead of default mode "Elf governor"?
