Vika 2 throttle rides again


So there's no way to get the full power out of Super Cheap ESC's if there's any noise in the PWM at all. 1 glitch over the maximum pushes the automatic throttle calibration lower & causes U to have not enough power. To get maximum power out of the Super Cheap, U need PWM with no noise or ESC's that allow fixed throttle range.

Worked around noise on Vika 1 by having extra PWM table entries, but took the entries out for spin copter, then ported spin copter back to Vika 2 & it didn't work. U need the extra table entries.

> West winds 10 to 20 mph...becoming 5 to 10 mph after midnight.

Your government still labors under the delusion that cold fronts bring lighter winds. Sonar guidance got another attempt in the wind anyway.

4 today's movie, John Carmack had another hit with Human vs. Rocket. Man with balls of steel pulls Methane/LOX rocket.
