ESC's for Control Line?

CircuitFlyer:
Has anyone tried a YEP brand of ESC’s from Hobby King?  Low cost ESC with a governor mode.

Guess it depends on the timer your using too. For the past few years I’ve used KR timer which has the governor built into the timer thus enabling the use of a cheap ESC. Turnigy Trust was my go to for a long time until they were no longer available. I recently tried a YEP and couldn’t get the brake to work no matter what I tried. Latest one was a “Hornet” branded esc and it worked really well.

My #1 model now had an Igor active timer and I’m using a Jeti Spin 66 pro. I’ve only put 12 flights on it thus far but it seems really good.

I use YEP with good results.

There are several esc produced by the same manufacturers with different names, YPG, ICE and YEP.

There are several settings, freweel, governor, governor Store and you can also regulate governor strength through P-gain and I-gain individually. P is Proportional gain and I integral gain, common parameters in PID closed loop controllers.

Increasing the P-gain can create an effect similar to the 4-2-4 in stunt models, increasing the RPM beyond the point but ups and reducing below the point but descents, taking care not to induce oscillation in level flight.

Douglas Bykoff:
duplicate, sorry.

Brent Williams:
It would be interesting to know if the Hubin FM9 timer could utilize the YEP ESC's governor in the same manner as the Castle Hi-Gov mode.
