what is wrong, trouble setting up my 700 with vbar

runesb · 08-07-2012, 02:51 PM

My swash is unleveled when giving collective + and - .
The elevator servo is going higher than rest of servos in positive collective and oposite at neg collective..

The first setup i got the collective on elevator stick, and elevator on collective stick.
In the tx menu in vbar software, it worked right, until swash setup step.
My wiring was according to vstabi instruction... So swaped ch 1 and 6, then the swash drections came straight.
But now, the tx menu in software is a mess. Elevator is collective and collective is elevator..

The tx is set in heli mode, normal swash setting.

Black vbar with 5.3 pro

Anyone got a clue what i am doing wrong ????

Start again

Do a new setup

Once you get everything OK on the Tx tab, everything moving the correct channels in the correct directions with centres and endpoints set, DONT TOUCH THE RADIO AGAIN

Now go through the rest of the steps, the setup wizard will show you where the servos plug in based on the swash type you selected. Be very carefule you select the correct sensor mounting direction and the correct swash type.

If things dont move right then you reverse the servos in the vbar software (NOT THE RADIO)

If you follow all the setup steps correctly following the onsceen instructions you cant get it wrong.

If its wrong you did one of the following
1, tried to use the radio to fix an issue AFTER you did the TX tab
2, selected wrong sensor direction and or swash type
3, plugged the servos into the wrong outputs

Also remember to "Set Center" on the Tx tab after you 0 it out with subtrim and before you go on to the next step.

Servo reversing i have done wrong i see, otherwise its setup right.
Ill do a complete new setup again to night. See whats happens.

Do you guys set the tx in 120 in swash menu ? As i understand the manual, it should stay in normal mode

Also, the swash will tilt front to back a little bit with collective inputs on the bench when not in setup mode, this is normal.

If it does it while in setup mode something is wrong.

Tx should be set to 1 servo normal.

runesb · 08-08-2012, 06:14 AM

Ok, so its normal then when not in setup... But mine do tilt in setup mode...
Hmmm

Set the TX to 1 servo in the radio,not 120..

runesb · 08-08-2012, 10:42 AM

I know, and it is set to 1servo.
Just wondered, cause my tx dont allow swash mix fungtion in norm mode. Since it was mentioned above...
Ill do a new setup in a few hrs. See how it goes

Just reverse the ele servo in s.ware......

It's not hard to overlook the little things. At least you got it figured out.
