I would by 10% and reset to 1 minute flight time just be safe.

No kidding...lol Be ready though, as you said the timer is supposed to detect cell counts so reducing the value could reduce the rpm, please let us know how it goes. 

Crist Rigotti runs the same rig I do and he thinks it will not affect the RPM's too but alas, we may never know.  Turns out that the 6s that I have are equipped with XT-60's and the ship in question has Deans.  Such is life.

Could this ESC be used by the Fiorotti timer?  Does anybody have experience with it on any timer?

Can someone who actually uses Fiorotti Timer tell me if there is possibility to adjust braking intensity independently from acceleration? The goal is to make braking to kick much earlier and harder than accelerating.
Thanks for your input!

Maybe in future updates that will be available.

I have been following the threads discussing Shark Week and one of the things that has bothered me about the Fiorotti is that I can't seem to get the cornering boost to come on while I am still in the corner.  It could be that the Spin Pro is too slow, or it could be that I am not setting one or all of the settings to produce it.  I want the boost to come on as close having reached the apex as possible.  Right now, I get it just as I hit the flat and if I am not careful, I will get a bump as it kicks in.

Will the timer work with a Spin instead of a Pro and would that make a difference?  Is there another ESC that is as fast as the old Spin?

  Ken's word was probably from my mouth :-).  THEY WERE!  I couldn't find it anywhere in the instructions.

My understanding is that the sensor and timer are acting on nose up angle, acceleration for sensitivity, and force for G-force, not directly on rotation or rate of change of rotation.

Ken, This Idea sounds good, however to my understanding (I could be wrong) If the sensor is not level this would change the lap speed between upright and inverted?
It would be easy to flight test and figure out?
Very keen to hear your findings :-)

Are you using the Fiorotti in "Agenda"?  Spin or Spin Pro?

I flew my Trifecta in a contest today and experienced my first IC like day with a timer.  It all started when I got hammered into the ground on the second Triangle of my first official of the day.  The plane was banged up but flyable.  From then on I was getting boost where I should have brake, massively different inverted and upright speeds and boost on the backside of rounds.  Anything over 45 was fine.  The sensor on the timer has calibration settings that tell the timer when it is flying level.  If they are off then lap times will be off and/or inside/outside turn RPM's will be unequal.  Assuming the sensor has been leveled and the calibration laps flown, what else could be wrong?  I have checked the videos of the plane and its AOA in level flight is just enough tail low create lift.  Although I doubt that the timer's neutral setting takes that into account it would not be enough to cause what I experienced.  Can timer or ESC settings be changed by smacking the plane into the ground?  This was a dramatic drop in RPM between level and inverted and a similar drop on outside turns.  Almost like it was trimmed with the sensor setting reversed (it wasn't).  It will be interesting to see what the settings are after the NTSB investigation.

G-force is self setting for the actual G-force number, though you can manually change it.  G-force needs to have either or both D and I to have a value, then it will calculate the G-force and show its on the screen.  If D and or I is on, the G-force will calibrate and show the new number when you change the base RPM.

If you want to check the sensor settings, you need a level pad, or a place where you can level the plane accurately, and that includes the mount in the plane.  The C number is factory set.  It has to do with the electronics of the sensor, so the C is matched to the sensor.  C and Y may be slightly different for different timer sensor pairs.  If you haven't changed C, then Y should equal C when all is level along the fuselage length or pitch axis, as you stated.  Y should match C very closely, usually within 1, maybe 2.  X is less critical and a value is not stored, nor is it related to C.  If you have a level pad, or the plane level along the wing/roll axis, you will see X.  I try to record the X, Y and C numbers checked on a leveled pad before install.  Then I can check to make sure that nothing has changed.

If you crash a timer sensor, then you might want to check to see that Y and C are still equal.  If a crash changed the value, I suspect that more would be wrong than a shift in the sensor C/Y.

I hope that helps.  I will try again if not
