Upper limit of throttle for Kontronik Jive in Spirit Wave?

Does anybody know what the upper limit should be for the throttle range for the Kontronik Jive 80 HV in Spirit Wave, please?
I have had to adjust the lower limit to 1080micsec. to work. Having chosen the Kontronik Jive ESC option, this gave 1100 - 1900micsec.
I am just setting this model up with a Spirit W1 for the first time and haven't tested it too much yet.
Thank you,
Andy

Hi All,
It would seem that I have forgotten Kontronik programming and need to reset ESC modes to Mode 1 and Mode 4 again.
It has been many years and had completely forgotten that the Kontronik resets all data and learns throttle endpoints in Mode 1!

Thank you Mattes61,
Yes, that was also a useful reminder, thank you!
I have to admit, that, though I have not yet fully tuned the W1 and Logo, I am liking the feel in the air already!
It won't be long before I transition all of the other helicopters to Spirit Wave!

Hi Matthias,
Jive reprogrammed and working fine.
This Jive 80HV has been flying in a Logo 500se for over 15 years now, so programmed it about 15 years ago and has been flying perfectly since then.
However, decided to try the Spirit Wave recently, replacing the original BD3SX and Jeti DC24, the FBL unit not being supported any longer for quite a while.
I had however completely forgotten about the mode of programming of the Kontronik units!
Happy so far and seems to be that the Wave will fly even better.
Fröhliche Weihnachten, Andy
