Hi Trickycopter
Can you post your setup so I can have a look to see if there is a wrong setting ?

First thing you'll need to do is set the swash.. use hr3 swash for the beltcp
channel 1 = aileron
2 = elevator
6 = pit..
Same order as the stock radio
Also try watching finless's movie on CCPM.. as he uses the same radio on the trex 450 which is similar and will get you going

Did you set the radio to Heli and the correct Swash type?? Does the radio even do Heli's?

Edit...... Ooops! someone :lolol already answering you :)

Thanks for the help I had the model in my radio set on H1 set it to h3 this is the type of setup it shows in manual for the swash plate config on the belt should I have it on hr3 waiting on battery in tx to charge again to check it Yes DierWolf this is a helicopter radio T7c for helicopters is what I meant by the model number above.

The servo is running all the time on the tail can hook a working servo to it and it still keeps running. put my stock gyro back on and the samething happens could the esc cause this problem main motor works could it be something in the programming of the Futaba 7c not sure were to begin to look Thanks for all the help Ber60 and all of you have a great day Rick

What gyro do you have? On the 7c are you in heading hold or rate mode. Do you have a digital servo mode on your gyro? What are you using for a servo? Need more info.By running do you mean buzzing or moving? In the 7c you can pick between avcs and rate mode in the gyro menu in your programing. Check your gain settings around 45 to 50 % is a good place to start. The 70 to 80% reccomended is way to high usually and causes drift in avcs mode.All depending on gyro of course..
