Belt CP/Airtronics RD8000

[Arkwhizzard]

Has anyone successfully setup the CP with a RD8000 that could help me set up mine I am new to computer radios and really don't understand this thing.:arggg:

Manual explains everything... perhaps you have the wrong swash type selected.

you need to use CP3F for the Belt CP.

All servo's plug into the same channel numbers that were on the stock reciever.

See if this manual is more up to date than the one you have..

I have compared the manuals and they are the same my rd is only three weeks old RcHover in Foxboro MA had the best price I could find on a new radio. I was looking for a 6 or 7 ch and they had the new 2.4 Gh for 199 I couldn't pass it up. Anyway I know what the settings do, its just what to set them at that troubles me. also the manual shows that the alieron and elevator are switched on the receivers. on the Esky Aileron plugs in number one and on the 92824Z Airtronics the Elevator plugs into number one and aileron into two. All the functions on the main rotor and the ESC work fine its mainly in the rudder I am having trouble and not sure if it is rotor speed, Gyro, or the servo setting or if the tail components are playing togrther as they should. :smokin:

:rolling Boy do I feel like a dummy. Anyone having an uncontrollable tail using an ESky EK2-0704 Gyro should try the reversing switch, wow what a differance. I can't believe the difference that little electronic gismo makes. Back in the 80's you had to either fight the tail or take out a second mortgage on your home to buy a gyro and they were SLOW. well now to figure out Collective pitch, throttle curve, and revo mixing!
