    Guys after i saw Mikes vibrations analysis via iphone i saw that i have a lot bigger numbers..!
    I checked my motors i put new bearings an my numbers are still the same 0.015 0.020 0.032 some where there..

    Mikes number were 0.003 0.008 0.005..!

    I sent him a PM and i asked him what was the throttle stick during the vibe analysis and he told me he had the MOTORTEST in MKtools to 100...

    Can someone tell me what is like on throttle stick on a 0-100 curve???

    Thank you....

    Pavlos, post a link to the video and perhaps i can answer your question. Not sure how many folks use throttle curves on their transmitters.

    I dont have a video... What i want to know is if you put 100 on the motortest how much throttle is that?? 10% -20% or 50%...

    I think that if you have a Mk you can answer easily...!!

    I have hoverfly :(:(

    The motortest runs from 0 to 255 so 100 would around 40%

    Just in case anybody else ponders this, if your Tx has some kind of "Servo Monitor" window (the MX20, FG8, and DX6 I know have), then you can assess the 40% by looking at Channel 1's output as you move the throttle stick.

    If you happen to be using MK Boards and have MK Tool, you can also (props off!) use the Channels window and see the actual 0-255 number there. (Note: For the GPX file, data value change to signed values of -127 to +127, with zero being the 50% mark. Don't ask why. :) )

    Andy and the 255 is the FUll for sure??!

    Because on MK everything is different from all the other systems :):)

    They might define the 255 as 60% of throttle :) :)

    Yeah....see the Easy Setup page for "Stick Neutral Point" where it says 127 = Middle position. Thus 0 is off, 255 is full.
