YGE 320 HV ESC

[jointer]

Any idea when that should be available?
Next year?

Without knowing any details, i would say yes. Hopefully.

Im just waiting for edvard to try 16s lol, pity i think the goblin will be faster as it is sleek like the banshee in a fuse....

With a significant amount of $ bound up in 12s batteries, I don't think I will go higher voltage in the near future. But then again, I have proven myself wrong before...

[helicraze]

What is required to run YGE on 16S??? Will YGE mod it or do i just change caps? I have SMT experience

[worldofmaya]

I've ordered through a LHS which already ordered quit a lot for the Suzi-Janis guys. I could make some photos of my 160HV if you want. But I think you need a little bit more for this mod, like firmware for low voltage of 16s and excange whatever isn't capable of 16s. Maybe Heino Jung answers this question or offers an exchange...

Spoke with them, they will mod for free if you buy a 320HV unit, they set antispark and maybe firware (not sure on firmware).

Hmmm should i or shouldnt i???

[worldofmaya]

I think my 16s 160HV didn't cost more than than the 14s version. Just took 2-3 weeks from ordering. Contacting / asking is always a good idea... especially contact to YGE is really nice. If you call him you directly speed with Mr Jung himself.

Of course you should!

Go 16S with 2 x TP3300-8SPP65 29.6V 3300 214.0A 429.0A 136.0 x 44.0 x 60.0 708g.
Should wake the whole thing up. And they are probably lighter than the packs you use now They should have 2mm clearance to the frame sides.

I had a look at 5S lipos to go 15S but the sizes don't really work.

You could go 14S with TP3850-7SPP65 25.9V 3850 250.0A 500.0A 136.0 x 44.0 x 58.0 717g.
But only going to 14S seems a bit lame

The big issue will be getting a motor of low enough Kv that can handle the voltage. My guess for 14S is 450kv, for 16S 390ish.

Taking the 14T pinion as minimum one shouldn't have a problem getting a 45xx winded at 450kv for 2000 stable with 16s. Of course lower head-speed might be a little bit hard for the ESC.

Ok got my 320A ESC today, can someone tell me what is the jumper cable for on the prog card lead that comes out of esc???? Do i leave it in?

Also for the RX lead, is this esc an opto so i dont have to worry about anything???

To use prog card, do i plug 4.8V NICAD first then flight pack or other way around?

And gov store mode can i just spool to say 80% on first flight and adjust + and - to get target RPM, it said something about 100%, but not comfortable to do that.

[Danny_Swe]

the small cable is only used for when calibrating throttle with prog card

[helicraze]

But there is a jumper for it. What is the function??

[helicraze]

Ok leave it in unless you use it as output for vbar gov

Hello,

Your set up is awesome! Would need your kind advise pertaining to the mentioned anti-flash red wire which attached on the corner of the ESC unit. I am not sure where and how to get it connected. It would be highly appreciated your kind advise.

Thanks in advance.

All seems to be working on the bench, so time to give it a whirl sometime next week.

Specs:
2010 TDR with rocker head
Radix 710 FBL blades (Funtech FAI as alternative)
Futaba BLS253/251
WR Super BEC @ 6V
YGE 320HV
AC-3X
PowerCroco 4535 Speed 4+3 YY @ 615KV
14T pinion
Robbe R6107SP Receiver

As promised a few pics:

[helicraze]

It comes from the factory like that

[jointer]

BTW i think i do not have any wire like that on my YGE 160. The antispark feature seems to be built in, because it produce only very tiny spark.

[jointer]

I need help.
No matter what i do, the heli always fold its blades when i switch on the motor.
It is YGE 160 + 4525LE, i done throttle calibration twice, also tried various spool up modes.
(heli middle, 3x gov off, plane fast and plane fast, 3x gov off, plane fast)
I quite do not understand the logic of the programming.
Anyway the ESC "runs out" of the requested RPM looking like "soft start" is enabled - i set the slowest spool up time in Vbar and the Vbar requests the RPM slowly, but the real RPM from the sensor is much higher then requested RPM...

[Mercuriell]

Have you tried the YGE without VBAR Gov make sure it's not somehing from there. My 160HV always has a jerk to start with but is far from bad enough from folding blades

You are programmng using the short lead? And getting confirmation beeps from the Progcard?. I initially was programming from the throttle lead as per YGE instructions and wondered why things werent happening! . You need to get instructions from the ElektrorRC wiki

[jointer]

Yeah, beeps and everything...
I have a Vbar setup guide, it just does not seems to be right.
For example, when i transfer the control to Collective in setup, i can get nice soft spool up without kick...
