Programming Menu 3 – Timing
The default setting is 15 degrees. As a general rule, lower pole count
motors use lower timing and higher pole count motors use higher timing.
Please refer to your motor instructions and specifications for an indication
of the number of poles.

Programming Menu 4 – Throttle Input Range (PWM)
Thedefaultsettingis1.2msto1.8msandshouldworkwithmostradio
systems. This option allows for proper throttle input with many different
radiosystems.However,someradioshaveawideroutputrange,andmay
giveamorelinearresponsewiththe1.1msto1.9msrange.Ifyoufeel
there is too much “dead” area in the stick movement near full throttle, try
adjusting the end points in your radio, or change to the wider input range.
Be aware that if these settings are not correct, it may be impossible to
arm the controller.
1. Move the stick to center (between 1.4 and 1.6ms) for 5 seconds, and
the controller will beep 4 times, indicating you are now in Menu 4.
