611 setup web page??

[rnolen]

Is there a website that explains in detail how to setup a 611, i have mine setup like JKheli.com, but all i did was make my endpoints 110% and 37% avc. It seems to work great, but im a bit worried on the endpoint thing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Im using a Raptor 50 and a 12z

Setup for the 601/611 is basically the same.

Jason's setup on his website was when he was flying Fury's. So to use his setup exactly you would need to be using same gear ratios, same tail blades, running the same rotor rpm. The setup on his site will get you close.

The endpoints will depend on how the geometery on the tail servo and tail pitch slider is set up. Basically you want the endpoint adjustment on the gyro to be above 100% and the pitch slider on the tail just about to bind in both directions. The gain adjustment will depend on tail rotor blades and tail rotor rpm. But a range of about 35% to 50% showing as gain on the screen of the gyro will be close. Don't need to high of a gain setting, it will just overwork the servo and cause a failure of it.

My pitch slider binds at 100%, do i need go shorter on the servo horn? Im at the recommended 17mm from center.

[DavidH]

Yes I would suggest going in to about 15-16mm. That should let you run the travel up above 100%. Plus you will be able to increase the gain on the gyro slightly.

Hey Dave

I have a question for you. I am running the 601 on my Reactor conversion for the Predator. I can only get 95% travel on the amp before binding of the pitch slider. I have the ball on the servo at 20mm. It needs to be at 20mm to maintain correct pushrod geometry. It seems to be working well as is but I have yet to push this machine hard. My question is, what is the downside to having less than 100% travel. I have heard from a few people that you want the travel above 118%.

Mike,
You want the servo to have full resolution. Less than 100% will work and you will probably not see any ill effects. I prefer the servo to be traveling thru its full range of motion.
At 20mm out on the servo arm and 95% on the travel. I would guess you have to set the gain fairly low. I would think if you have the gain set above 40% with your setup that your really overworking the servo.
With your setup your using mechanical gain.

Yes Dave I have my gain at 37% on the amp and I have a tiny amount of tail wag when it is unloaded or in fff. Reducing the gain a little has been on the list for the next flight. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for that snippet, I was wondering why people suggested running over 100% (obvious now I know).
