Hi Patrick
Greetings from New Zealand. The following is my setup for a 650grm 2.0metre glider:
Hacker b20-15l with 4.4:1 maxon gearbox
11 x 8 Graupner blades
7 cell HE cell 1100's.
Berg 5 channel receiver
I have been flying this setup with a Kontronik Smile controller and have had no problems.
I bought Phoenix 25 from Aircraft world in Japan and can not get it to work.
After connecting battery I wait the required 4 seconds. When I advance the throttle it will start and then stop. After that it will not restart and i can only do that by unplugging battery and starting again. When i took the blades off it would intially start and I would get some throttle but then it will stop and I have to unplug etc... so I figure it must be an overload issue (ie too many amps). Measured with ampmeter and at 14 amps should be OK. Tried different cells CP1300 and again same issue wont go so ruled out cells.
Went right through programming options, even making it insensitive etc but still no joy.. Made sure chose option for hacker motor etc...
Please help. Since I'm in NZ it aint easy to just send you controll
er etc. I've put the kontronik controller back in and it works just fine.
Thanks
Dwayne
