I am setting up a Q mono with a Leopard 4092 1480kv 3.5D wind motor, and Swordfish 220 Pro+ ESC on 6 cells. This is my first delta wind motor. My research here and elsewhere shows that delta wind motors like low timing as compared to wye wind. On my wye winds, I use auto timing if the ESC has that setting, and 5-10 deg if fixed only. I expect to use auto timing on the delta wind motor, unless advised not to. I am looking for practical experience from forum members. Thanks.
Is auto ESC timing proper for delta wind motor?

If you have fixed timing try 5 Deg or less first. Make a short run and check temps. You can try upping the timing, but you will likely only get more heat and no more performance.

I always use the Auto setting on the Swordfish ESCs for both Star or Delta motors.They always seem to run cooler than when you try to select a setting.See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!

I'm going to try this in one boat since any specific timing settings will not let me get 6+ laps out of it. If that doesn't work, the motor may be on the way out.Nortavlag Bulc
