well here we again. Repaired heli and had everything absolutely perfect. But this whole time I had no idea I was going to had the reverse my HS65mg's. I thought they would have had the same rotation as the stock servos. Can someone explain why they are different? Id hitec polarity different from spektrum for a specific reason? The only thread ive seen on reversing was for the tail rotor. Boy we are learning, but the hard way?:dontknow:arggg:

i dont know what went wrong but i barely even got off the ground and when i went to correct it went nuts, crashed and burnt. I guess now ive got to tear it down once more and rebuild from the ground up. I think my main is bent now as well. Sure wish there were more heli pilots around!!!

Go into the swash mix and reverse the 3 in there and the servos will move
in the right direction.

Lesson learned everytime you do a rebuild check the heli is working properly before you fly

NEVER skip the preflight! At zero headspeed, verify the movement, and then again at 40-50%! I almost learned the hard way when I forgot to check once. The elevator control was backwards...why? Well it seems it was a DX6i glitch, as the swash mix sign became pos, instead of neg...it was fine on the previous battery, that same day.

Then later, the elevator servo, decided to suddenly move 45% and stay there at nuetral...If I hadn't checked...ouch..

SO Now I check it 100% each flight before lift off! Irregardless of servo work/repair...

yea well. i was just unaware that if i reversed the servos that i needed to reverse the swash as well. I learn these things as i go. I wasnt even sure eatly how the swash even worked.....:confused: Just getting into the hobby and trying to learn. Just wanted to learn a little cheaper...:roll:
