Have a bad experience with my Logo 500 3D today... My Setup: Kontronik Jive 80+ LV, Z-Powe 1100, BLS 451 on the swash, etc.

When I programed the Jive everything went well, (it's more or less the same like the Jazz 80, remove the Jumper, learn heli mode, etc.) Also did a setup of my radio (Futaba TC9) and everything seemed to work well... When I switched off power on the receiver & radio to do some mechanical settings on the head and tried to spin up the motor later on - Nothing! The LED on the Jive was blinking 3 times, no motor beeps, nothing! tried nearly everything... I still have the Progcard from the Jazz, (which can be used for the Jive as well) did a complete Reset and tried again... everything ended up in a 3* blinking LED without spinning the Motor! Got a hint in another Forum that I should set the Throttle off position to a positive value, f.e. 3 (instead of 0 the was set on my Radio) and surprise, surprise! It worked! But only for 3 times in a row... After switching off Radio & Transmitter - again 3 times blinking and no way to get the motor spinning... Will call Kontonik Hotline tomorrow, will see what kind of answer they have for me - in a german forum I was told, that the Z-Power Motor does not have 'enough inductiviy' for the Jive... Another guy with a Hacker Motor has exactly the same problem.

I am a little disappointed and hope that my problem can be solved easily - otherwise it was too much money only for playing around...

Here the info from Kontronik:

'Z-Power Motor does not have enough Inductivity on 6s Lipos (5s is working properly) and does NOT work with the Kontronic JIVE 80+LV'

I am really pissed and I hope that the guys from Kontronik change their sw soon, because some Hacker Motors are also NOT working! I found a workaround to bring it to spin every time, if someone is interested I can answer by PN!

That really sucks - my z50-800 works brilliantly with the Jazz
