Novak RC Analyzer

[Frankentruck]

Anyone have access to a manual for a Novak RC Analyzer? Or does anyone have any hobby shop contacts that might be willing to make a copy of their manual? My good independent LHS closed, but maybe I'll ask the Hobby Town people. They might surprise me.

The local Hobby Town had no idea what this is and suggested I look on the internet and ask in some forums. That was some very inspired advice. But I understand, they were just unfamiliar with it.

The Novak analyzer arrived yesterday. I hope to check it out this weekend. The previous owner found another LHS owner that had the operating manual. He scanned it and emailed me a pdf so I think I'm set. I should try the new pdf uploader with this manual, so that next person that gets told to go check the internet has a chance of finding it.

Today is the day to try out the analyzer. To start with, some of the vintage schmutz got cleaned off.

During manual testing with the control stick, my T-1X had up to a measured 33A load from the brushed motor during rapid acceleration. The amp load isn't displayed with the automatic cycle function that cycles full throttle, full brake, full throttle, full brake, etc.

I also tried out BEC test mode. The motor gets brief periodic rotation during this test mode.

In servo test mode, this S3003 servo typically pulled 0.3A during manual full range movement. Extremely aggressive movement could briefly pull 0.4A.

This Bantam Midget would sometimes hang during cycle testing. A replaced connector seems to have fixed the issue, or at least it isn't still happening right now.

For receiver testing, the output pulse width is the item being tested. This R152JE has a neutral throttle position pulse width of 1.51 milliseconds. Full throw in forward and aft needs to be at least a 0.36ms difference in each direction for correct ESC operation. This receiver meets that requirement.

This Tekin Titan would not turn the motor, which I already expected from previous testing. Unfortunately I didn't learn anything new about why, just that it needs repair.
