My Posts This: Topic Forum | It's not plug and play as it has many variable settings, the defaults usually being those you don't want for a heli! You can download the instructions from Castle Creations website but if you're going to buy more CC speed controllers then the PH-X link is worthwhile as you can program the ESC via the USB port on a PC, the alternative is lots of stick movement to program.
You may get many suggestions for the P80 setup, my preference would be: -
Cut Off Voltage - 4V
Current limiting - Disabled
Brake type - Disabled
Throttle Type - not sure with this motor
Electronic Timing Advance - Standard advance (default)
Cut Off Type - soft cutoff
Soft Start - soft start (default)
PWM - Option 1 (default)
These don't protect the speed controller or battery but means you shouldn't have a motor cut in flight plus it's fairly obvious when voltage is dropping and I'm a firm believer in timing flights & checking the amount of mAh's that go back in.
Don't forget to remove the red wire from the ESC plug into the receiver and run a seperate battery pack or seperate UBEC as 5S is well outside the ESC's BEC capability.
