Re: Propeller Gaps & Timing!

If the safety gaps fire after you have achieved an even sounding 
operation, it means you must slightly retard the phasing of the 
electrode alignment (move the propellor against the direction of 
motion).  This adjustment is *very* fine in some case (maybe 3-5 
degrees).  It can make the difference between perfectly smooth 
operation and rough operation where the safety gap fires often.

Good luck, and keep tuning, SRSGs are worth the extra effort in my 
opinion.  In fact, normal spark gap coils sound "bad" now that im 
used to SRSGs and then the DRSSTC (which is the closest thing to 
perfect :P).  The random firing of a static gap just sounds bad.

I have been ajusting my syncronious gap for half an
hour now, and I can't seem to get the timing right!

I have a 15/120 nst that is charging a 0.05uF MMC.
That's *2.35 : 1* for the needed cap for a Static
setup.

The safty gaps are set at max voltage break down and
are firing at only 70% of full power

I am absolutely SHURE that my motor is salent pole
syncronious @ 1800rpm in case anyone is wondering.

What should I do to get this thing to work?????
