Hi I have a Century Swift with the century 3d motor.
Problem is from Day1 I have suffered from glitches on my heli :arggg: . Which has resulted in my heli locking out in a high hover and slowly descending hence regain communication with the heli.
I have changed rec from pcm to ppm, motor stock to 3d. repositioned rec and speedo. but to no avail.
This is what I use
Jr 9xII
Jr rec PPM and PCM
Jr 480 Gyro
Jr 2700 tail servo
Jr 811 on cyclic
Jr H/d switch

Just wish I could get it sorted. Ive been lucky up to now.
Anyone any ideas.

What do you have for ESC and what are you using to power the motor, and what are you using to power the RX?

Is your receiver located very close to your ESC?

Hey,

I'm not having any problems with mine and I run JR gear as well, a friend running a 9XII with a simlar Rx to yourself is also fine.

One thing that does spring to mind is the battery wires from the LiPo to ESC. Last year Adam Turner was having troubles with lockouts on his Swift every now and then. A quick look over the model before I configured it to match my own proven layout showed that if the battery wires wer coiled under the gyro then it would lockout. We stumbled across this by running the wires under the gyro on the grouns with the Tx. no more than 2 foot away.

Tell us a little more about the setup and it's placement.
