I am thinking about getting a Hobbywing 150 Platinum V5 esc and Spirit GT FBL for an upcoming helicopter project. Does this esc have full telemetry functionality with Spirit FBL’s? Thanks! |

I don’t think the HW150 v5 “FunFly” series have any telemetry capability at all. It may not even have an RPM output either. That ESC was meant for airplane use… however, a good FBL governor can run it (you may need the phase sensor to get RPM). I would recommend looking on HeliFreak for posts from AtomicSkull regarding the Hobbywing v5 FunFly units. Their main attraction is the low cost, but there’s a bit of more work to get them working well in a helicopter application. The programming device is a push button LED card… it does not use the PC adapter/programming box. I don’t know if firmware can even be changed, unless done at the factory. |

I was referring to the Hobbywing 150 Platinum Pro v5, not the Fun Fly series. |

Gotcha. That’s a new one for me. Looks promising and concerning at the same time… VBC integration/telemetry as a native setup; we know the V4 units with VBC firmware doesn’t work with Spirit, so it’s possible that this v5 will not work as well. If I had a 550 size heli, I’d definitely try it. We’ll look out for someone who gives it a go. Looks like MSH had a recent update to allow telemetry with the v5 series. Maybe Jeti and Spirit will get an update soon. New Hobbywing 150A V5 https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic? ... source=app |

Hobbywing 150A v5 works with Spirit GT! There is an issue with used capacity, which is already recognized and will be fixed with next update. https://www.spirit-system.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5443 |

Full telemetry works perfectly with a Graupner Tx and Rx.

A couple of other members at the club where I fly have Goblin 580s, one with a Spirit flybarless unit . I'm just in the process of mounting the Spirit GT and Rx in my build at the moment. I'll post some photos when done for anyone who's interested. |

HobbyWing Platinum V4 and V5 ESC series are considered good value ESCs, but they are not known for telemetry accuracy or repeatability. |
