levels of braking somewhere in the instructions (from freewheeling to stopping
the propeller). There were about 75 different options in the instruction manual
and really not worth my time to delve into to fly around a little foamy for
fun. However, a lot of the options would be very interesting and helpful
in a pattern scenario. I am sure that our electric power pioneers are
very busy optimizing these new cool programmable functions for the rest of us
when we follow them in five years.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

The Castle Creations brushless speed controllers can be programmed to function
in an “RPM control” mode. The programming was pretty complex
to get there, but the way I understand the instruction sheet, it controls the
juice to the motor to give you a linear RPM based on throttle position. . . <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
