GY 611 question: no left rudder

[Tioli]

My friend flew his Raptor 60 today. First flight, just hovering, everything normal. all of a sudden he had no left rudder. Landed fine...On the ground it was clear that the mechanical linkage was normal, but when hooked up to the servo/gyro, there was only half the normal travel. I adjusted endpoints, and the limit, to no effect, then put it back to normal. cycled the gyro on and off several times...tried it in Normal...no effect, the servo just doesn't want to travel the full distance.

Can we hook up another servo to test the gyro? Or use that servo with a 401, for testing purposes?

Any ideas? All we could think of is setting the r60 up with a 401 and sending the 611 in to futaba for a check...

The GY 611 can only use the 9256 or 9251 servo. The 9256 servo will only work with the GY 611.

Could be the servo or the brain box bad. That is not much help. But you need another 9256 servo to check it out.

Tried it with another servo and had the same issue. Called Futaba and they said send it back...so we will.
