Hello everyone

I'm seting up a new throttle jockey pro for my Raptor 50,and I just don't have slightest idea on what head speed to aim for. I know I must tach my head speed while flying, but I would appreciate it if you could share your head speed at hover and forward flight to have as a reference.

Thanks for your advice.

1650 for a nice, docile hover and 1800-1850 for upstairs work is a good place to start. Adjust to taste.

I use a 3-speed setup.

1500-1600 for Normal mode
1800-1850 for Idle 1 (3D and inverted hovering)
1950 for Idle 2 (all out 3D and high speed FF)

RCMan has already told you the headspeeds he is using. Not sure if that is what you want or the precentages to use on the ATV's to achieve those head speeds.

Here is a link to setup instructions for each radio. There is an EPA ( ATV) calculator at the bottom of each radio. Those numbers should get you in the rpm range your seeking.
