Tail ESC possible?

[ajadda]

Hi,

I wonder if it was possible to use a tail ESC instead of a tail servo.
If so, what should I take care of?

Regards,

What do you mean by Tail ESC?

Do you want to connect ESC to the CH4 port? What is the reason for this?

[ajadda]

Yes, that is what I was thinking about.
I have a small heli with a tail-motor driven by a separate ESC.

[ZeXx86]

Yes, it is possible. But the tuning will be little bit different than with normal servo.

Thank you for the information!

I am sure there will be differences compared to a servo, a motor is much slower in any reaction, there are not really rudder endpoints...
Should I use slowest frequency for the ESC?

60 Hz should be fine.

You can use rudder endpoints to set throttle range for the ESC.
