28 and counting.... was created by Blayd
Just alittle info for those who ask....
Yes. I fly a 700 on Deviation 4.0.1 using a Devo 8S, running in 2801Pro protocol on a 2801 Pro Rx.
I also fly three 500's using the Devo protocol.
Today was flights 26, 27, and 28, on the 700. Flawless. Rock solid.
First up, the usual failsafe check. Perfect. Motor shut down as it should.
Still havent set up the servos yet to go to a nuetral setting, right now, I believe they stay at last input.
TH and governor working fine..
Range check was, well, I couldnt get far enough from the heli to induce failsafe...thats a good thing.
Today, I took the 700 MUCH farther then any previous flights, further then I normally would by a long shot, pushing my own abilities to keep orientation correctly. You would have thought I was doing FPV flying it was so far out.
All went well.
Question....
What is The minimum voltage for maximum signal? 4.5v? Right now, I think I have my warning set to 4.75v...
Thanks in advance.

I was thinking the rf module operated at 3.3v off a regulator.

Therefore min voltage warning for 8s would be determined by min safe voltage of battery used because it would be well above dropout voltage of reg (edit: unless using 1s).

So battery voltage has no effect on signal output.

But i could be wrong.

Thanks Birdman.... I just want to make sure I dont take the 8S down too low. So I was trying to see where everybody is setting the warning for the battery voltage.
