Thanks! I’m actually right around there too, maybe a touch richer on both. It might have just been a really good day for nitro lol. I’m debating going to the 20t gear too because I prefer flying around 2000-2100 rpm more than the 2200-2300 it’s geared for.

Any of the ports on the servo header can accept power, similar to most other FBLs. Generally the ESC will have a BEC which will power it through the ESC port (and sometimes RPM too) 🙂 The only thing to NOT do, is do NOT power it through any of the 4 ports on the top (A, B, C, and DSM). Those have voltage regulators for 5v and 3.3v output, and it's typically not a good idea to back-feed voltage regulators.

@@RobertBurrow87 thanks for the conformation...i thought i might be going mad....yeah my esc has no BEC.... the rpm port i had not thought about so thanks for that great idea, ill pop in a couple of power leads into my remaining two blanks on that connector for my power :).....thanks for the info and i do think some people will struggle to find this info no matter how logical it appears to many. thanks

XGuard RPM SuperSensor. But I am wondering if the backplate sensor version might work a little better for spoolup with the way Rotorflight currently works 🤔

Thanks! Yeah still a new engine and trying to err on the safe side since I'm figuring out nitro heli engine tuning at the same time. That was 2100 RPM

Ditto

Can't remember exactly but it was most likely 1700, give or take 50.

Now that I have been using Rotorflight for a while, I can usually get the PIDs to a very good point in just a couple flights. Like any new FBL, it took some time and experimenting to get an idea of what to change to get the right feel.

There are a few guys trying Rotorflight on nitro and it seems to be working with it. I don't have first hand experience with it though, might be best to hop in the Rotorflight Discord and ask how it's working for them :) discord.gg/6QUySXdEvd

I’ve seen on discord Dr Rudder (father of RF) recommend fixing FC as direct to airframe as possible ie dbl side tape so that the gyro gets all the vibration/moving data so that filters can deal with the ones you don’t want as accurately as possible. Gummies not recommended.

Now that Rotorflight 2 is released, I think we will start to see setup videos! And yes you really want RPM with Rotorflight because it uses the RPM and gear ratios to filter noise. The governor works very well and is highly tunable. It was written with electric in mind, but there are a few people making it work with nitro too.

@@RobertBurrow87 awsome, thank you for the response. I'll be looking forward to more videos about it soon!

No, it is a bit more complicated than that 😆

Yes just blades and one servo arm! Was expecting worse 😃

Honestly I'm not entirely sure what Spektrum receivers/satellites require to be connected. I imagine there's a way depending on what voltage they need. I know Rotorflight 2 supports SRXL2 too which might be easier to make work.

I got u

Thank you! I ended up reinstalling Rotorflight--not because there was anything wrong with Spirit, I just wanted to get more time on Rotorflight 2 RC1. Ideally I'd have one M7 on Spirit and one M7 on Rotorflight! With the setup in the description and Spirit GT, I did not deviate far from defaults. I typically just raise the cyclic gain a few percent, increase piro consistency 10-15 points, and adjust style and feed forward until it feels right. I tend to do nearly the same things to every heli I've had on Spirit. It looks like I forgot to mention I was running the longer 37mm blade grip arms that come with the kit in this video. The 32mm ones work well too, I just wanted to try the longer ones and installed them at the same time as the Spirit GT.

Yeah, was having fun and didn't think far enough ahead! lol
