I have an Esky Belt CP that I just upgraded with the Esky HH gyro (EK2-0704A) along with Spektrum DSP75 servos and a AR6100e receiver to use with my Spektrum DX6i transmitter. I actually have two problems...
First, when I increase my throttle, my pitch is negative instead of positive (in other words, backwards from normal). I can't find where to reverse the servo deflection in the radio menus. Do I alter the entire pitch curve, or what?? My old "cheapie" radio just had switches on the front, but I can't find a simple explanation in the book for setting up the servo directions.
Secondly, I was told to plug the servo switching to the "gear" input on the receiver, but it doesn't seem to switch to HH mode. Is the "gear" switch on my radio supposed to switch between HH and rate modes, or does this function need to be "assigned" or altered in the radio somehow? I assumed that since it was on the "gear" channel, that this function would be tied to this switch on the radio, but I don't see the changes occur that I used to see on the old setup. Does anyone know how this is supposed to be set up?
This brings me to a final issue..... I used the "default" heli settings on the Model 2 slot (for heli, of course) on the radio...pitch curves, servo settings, etc. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a beginner on these settings? I am only hovering right now, with just the slightest forward, backward and side-to-side flight on the cyclic. I was wondering if I should alter the default settings to a more "docile" flight mode while I learn more hovering and forward flight techniques. I have an Eflite Blade 400 that I got with this radio and I might ask the same about the settings on it. It hovers fine from the factory, but I was told that there were settings that were better for beginners. Any help on these issues is GREATLY appreciated, and I apologize for such a long post. I'm just dying to get this thing squared away. Thanks Helifreaks...you guys RULE :noteworthy
