Hi, I just bought a hirobo shuttle plus .30 and i had to get afew things to get it going(blades, reciver battery, starter, ...etc..) And I charge up the reciever battery and plug it in and turn on the tx and rx and hear a winning almost grinding comming from the collective pitch and throttle!... I have tried taking the turn table thinggys off and udjusting it so the throttle is full out when the servo is full out that way(you know what i mean) but the radius on the servos is too much if i tune it one way it just grinds going the other way! How do i make there travel less? Should i take it in and get it done?
P.S I have a futaba 8u super

I almost understand.
Look in the radio's manual for "ATV" or "EPA" settings. Either term defines the electronic 'end point' of the servo to prevent overdriving or whining/grinding.
Sounds like your servos are in a bind...
Before you hurt yourself trying to fly this machine, find HELP nearby..really.

make no mistake, these things can hurt, kill, or maim you. Have it looked over by a competant pilot.
