Paul,
I trust that you have the kV for your motor set right in the settings for the motor and have enough volts to spin at the speed you are looking for. Setting the battery on the throttle page will help see if you are in the right range.I normally run mine around 10K rpm in relatively light planes, but have run this set up in a 70 ounce SV without issue as well (although it has been a while). Normally I use the Set RPM mode and preset my ESC to the speed I desire in #2 a little slower in #1 and a little faster in #3 until I am more familiar with what is needed. On the FM-9 I use Phoenix set RPM and choose #2 and do a quick hop to see if it is what I am looking for and add or subtract as needed. Cannot say as I have ever gone back and tached the prop but the RPM has been inline with the setting on the ESC that the FM-9 has selected according to the info downloaded from the ESC.
Will be curious to learn what you find out. FWIW, I think that there was some discussion on SH from Mike Alimov regarding the throttle RPM in the Phoenix ICE/EDGE not matching up well with what was actually put out. Do not recall the outcome of that discussion since I generally use the Set RPM settings.
Regards,
John
John's recollection is quite correct, and even though this specific issue was solved, I will summarize it for the benefit of others who use the Hubin FM-9 timer.
In summary, when a Castle Talon ESC is being programmed in the Phoenix New High mode, there will be a discrepancy in set RPM vs actual RPM. In order to get the actual RPM out of Talon, the FM-9 programmer needs to be set to the Castle Talon mode. If your programmer doesn't have that mode available, thatmeans it is an older version. It can be updated by ordering a new chip from Will Hubin, replacing the old chip in the programmer box.
