Electric Version
In the main menu, select the corresponding calca- app directly…
… choose “Throttle”…
… and switch to “Prop” (very important!)…
… this is how it looks afterwards, then fill in or overwrite all fields from top to bottom…
… these are the settings for my Parkmaster…
… Throttle 0% has one more decimal place since for electric aircraft, you usually input very small values, for example, 50mA…
… Reset is activated with a logical switch, for triggering, I use a spring-loaded switch along with the aileron at full deflection. A second battery is configured, and again, a logical switch is used for changing…
… this is how it should look when the transmitter is turned on or the reset switch is activated. In addition to the remaining capacity in percentage, you can see the selected battery, the maximum C-rating of the motor, and the throttle position…
… in this example, the 800mAh battery is selected, and the required C-rating value increases to 27C.
Difference Combustion Engines
Aircraft type Gas for Gasoline Engines and Turbine Jets…
JetCat or Frank for various turbine starting procedures…
… here, the Frank turbine is selected…
… if a linear gas curve is used (for my JetCat Standard), the settings for 25%, 50%, and 75% can be left at “-1”. The values between 0% and 100% will then be calculated linearly…
…”Reset Reminder” is intended for gasoline engines. Ideally, you should select a switch or stick that is only used when taxiing for takeoff, perhaps throttle or elevator?!…
… as with the throttle stick, make sure it is set to “Proportional”…
… the display window shows the turbine starting variant, as well as the countdown for engine start…
… in this example, the countdown is set to “1”, and the turbine is starting up…
… just before the turbine reaches idle, pull the stick back, the display will change to “0”, and CalCa starts counting down the percentage display.
