Hi Motorman

In the USA only three people are using my timer.

Fred Underwood
John Tate
Richard Hart

Fred has questioned enough and already has several flights is the right person for the feedback.

You read the email I sent?

To change program wait for a long blink corresponding to the function you want to change, then keep START pressed while the LED informs the value set until the blinking flashes, then release START switch.

Complicated ...... but I'll be recording a video that shows how easy it is.

The instructions to setup the Rogerio Fiorotti timer was a problem for me at first.
After a few emails with Rogerio and a couple of other modelers around the world, I was able to get the timer to work to where it was usable for me. First, you need to have a Castle ESC hooked up the Rogerio Fiorotti timer. My main problem first was that I tried a YEP 40 ESC and a Turnigy dlux 40 ESC and I could not get the RPM's to set. I tried to set the RPM's at the lowest and to the highest but the RPM's only stayed at one setting. Once the Castle ESC was used then I could set the RPM's any where I wanted it.

Today the wind was down to 5 to 7 MPH here on the east coast of Virginia.
So I went flying with a Vector 40 converted to an Arrowind 2820 motor, Castle Phoenix IceLite 50 ESC and the Rogerio Fiorotti timer. A 2200 MAH, 4 cell battery was used. The level lap times were at 5.1 seconds. The accelerometer, (sensor), would detect when the Vector started a climb such as the wing over, loops and so on. The Arrowind would speed up when needed and carry the Vector through all of the maneuvers. The flight time was set for 5 minutes and 20 seconds. I checked the battery at the end of the flight and each cell readings were as follows: Cell # 1 = 3.75, Cell # 2 = 3.74, Cell #3 + 3.75 & Cell # 4 = 3.76.  If I remember correctly: The battery had more in it verse the other timers that I used in the past. I let the motor cool off and put up another flight and everything was the same as the first flight.

I enjoyed flying with the Rogerio Fiorotti timer in the calm wind today.  A couple of months ago I went out and flew the Vector on a 15 MPH day. I learned that the accelerometer, (sensor), does detect any movement of the airplane (as it should). So on a windy day, the Vector was pushed around and the accelerometer will give you feedback on how windy it is. The motor would change RPM's when it needed to fight the wind. Doing loops on a windy days does changes your timing from what you are used to doing at the handle. Like using any new equipment, you need to learn how use to it.

Once you get in a few flights then you will want to tweak it a little to make it perfect.

I did the tilt the nose down once and brought it back to level to get the lap time to where I liked it. I changed the gain to where it was comfortable for me. I am still experimenting each time I go out to the field.
