All,
This is my first build and radio program and i thought i got everything right but my maiden flight today was a backwards affair. I had issues with the blade tracking from a previous post and resolved those without any real issues. I ended up with a 5point curve of:
Normal: -7 (low stick), -4 (1/4 stick) +0 (mid stick), +5 (3/4 stick) and +10 (high stick)
IdleUp1: -6 (low stick), -2 (1/4 stick) +7 (mid stick), +8.5 (3/4 stick) +10.5 (high stick)
IdleUp2: Due to my skill level (None) i copied IdleUp1
Throttle Hold: Max Negative (low stick), 0 degrees (mid stick), Max Positive (high stick)
So i spool up motor sounds great, blade are tracking perfect for woods and not much is happening about mid stick so i give it just a little more juice an i see the skids start to flex out. I said WTF and took it to the bench. Everything is reversed. All my pitch settings above are reversed now. High stick in NM is -10, Low is + 7 etc and IdleUp 1 High is -10.5 and Low is +10.5. What the heck did i do wrong? I changed nothing from my initial settings? Must have had to much coffee or something this morning. Thanks for any advice whether i made an idiot noob mistake or not.
