My Posts This: Topic Forum | I took my Chinook for it's first flight but had some problems and couldn't lift it up. It's a nitro Chinook, with OS 50 Hyper and 6 volt battery regulated to 5.3volts, It has 6 S9252 servos
First when I turned it on, after the receiver connects with the radio all the servos started making small movements and I don't have a clue what could be the cause of that. I don't know if it's a gain problem but if I leave it without any movements input for some seconds it remains calm and then starts shaking all the servos again (Throttle not included in the movements, just both cyclics) and the movements are less than 1/2 mm but you can hear and see them moving a little bit. Even with the small movements the servos responded perfect to the input from the transmitter. I have a Futaba 12FGH with 2.4Ghz FASST and the receiver is a R6014FS, both brand new. I've been flying my Raptor and T-Rex500 with the same radio and 7 channel FASST receivers with no problems.
So since the movements were so little I decided to give it a try and started the engine.
When the rotors were picking up some speed the helicopter tried to lift up but the rear rotor first and I had to bring it down again. I tried again to take it into a hover but the rear rotor is lifting first and makes it impossible to leave the ground, the front rotor almost hits the ground. My question is if I have to make the rear rotor pitch lower than the front rotor since the manual does not mention anything about it but I think would be the only way to take off.
If anybody is running the same radio setup I would really appreciate if you can give me you end points values and/or the Mixer's values just to try if this would fix the problem.
Thank you... |
