Hello All,

hope someone can help, I have two heli's raptor 50 and 90SE both with GV-1. The 50 has been rebuilt after a crash new servos and reciever, and the 90 is new never flown both have been sitting for over a year.

now the problem i'm having

i started with the 50 the GV-1 sensor is reading 97% no matter where the magnet was relative to the sensor. so i bought a new sensor, plugged it in and reads 0% even when i bring the magnet (new one) close to the sensor no change still reads 0%, and i did try both sides of the magnet. Since this one had been through a crash i tried the one in my 90 (everything is new in my 90) same thing GV-1 (completely brand new) reads 97% on the display crank the motor by hand no change still says 97% tried new sensor. It reads 0% moved magnet closer no change just like the one in my 50.

can someone shed some light on this for me.

Guess my optical sensor isn't too bad after all!

the sensors can go bad just from sitting? they worked 6 months ago, put the helis up and now all i get is the 97%
