I think my controller may be like yours.  Take off at full fine , then turn i
t back to climb and later to cruise if you like.  I was thinking the fine se
tting was labeled take off.  I had some problem with the controller ten year
s ago and had to sent it to Florida dealer to be re- booted.  Has been no pr
oblem since and now at 650 hours.  I think there must be a sensor on the spi
nner back plate.

 it runs to full fine . How does it detect RPM is it the sensor on the back o

ce ? If this all sounds a bit vague I am a third party relaying this request
 and my Europa does not have a VP prop. Some advice on the operation  would b
e of great help. As Airmaster do not support the old AC100 controller any lo
nger.
