Ivor, what are your thoughts on a field programmer that refuses to connect with the FM? It never goes to the main adjustment screen........when connected it just says connecting on the programmer.
Any help would be appreciated! |

hobby king watched the video i posted of my issue and deemed I have a faulty unit, the best part is they are sending me another unit and i don't even have to send the faulty one back! They said i can bin it, now that's great service if you ask me... I'm obviously going to keep the unit for spares as I'm pretty sure it's only the gyro that is faulty..

got my replacement FM today, initialized without any issues There was definitely something wrong with the gyro unit in the 1st one I got, fortunately HK were very good about sending a replacement.
Thank you guys for your assistance. Setting it up as we speak. Can't wait to try it out |

hi again. i think I got the flymentor set up pretty much right, i have a separate tail gyro and i have aux 2 set up to control the flymentor gain. position 0 is 0% and position 1 is -125% which i believe is about 80 in horizontal mode. horizontal mode seems to be working correctly, ive only tried it in a high hover, nothing extreme yet.
what i can't work out, is there a "recovery mode" where if you let go of the collective the heli will self correct, is this just horizontal mode? it just seemed to me that in horizontal mode, the unit is fighting my inputs, do i have to lower one of the other settings for it to only correct when i let go of the sticks? |

I have set up Flymentor on my 450QS.
When I spool up, the heli seems to slowly rotate counter clockwise.. It's not the tail servo reverse since I checked that already. Any ideas? |

You have to get use to flying the heli in a slightly different fashion. You van try lowering the gain a little to gain more control over the heli.

Did you perform a mechanical tail setup?

Hello,
Today I installed a flymentor on my T-Rex 500. I am brand new to the flymentor, and am having a problem. I browsed through a few pages here, and haven't found my problem mentioned yet, but incase I just missed it and it's already been answered, I apologize, but I would really appreciate any feedback. The problem is a bad twitching in the tail servo. The twitching actually gradually drives the servo into a full left turn. It doesn't matter what settings I put in. When I disconnect the flymentor rudder/gyro plugs, and connect in the original gyro I was using, then it works fine. I'm assuming the tail gyro function of my flymentor is fried. I did read that that gyro isn't very good, so most people use a different gyro anyway, so maybe I'm better off using my original gyro anyway. However I'm a little concerned about flying with a faulty unit, even though nothing else seems affected. So, any thoughts? Is there any place that sells just a gyro if I decide I want to replace that part? Thanks in advance for any help, |

Hi Jim. Plug the blue FM wire into a spare channel on your receiver, normally channel 7. Go to aux switch on the TX and set a 3 way switch to channel 7 normally switch e. The switch will now select FM modes it will also set the gains for positional and balance mode and they will be to high, so go to end points on channel 7 and set the end point for positional gain to about 60 and balance gain to about 85 to start. Hover and set these values for best performance. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. I'll just keep the other gyro on it and try it like that.
thanks again, |

Chattering Servos - Update
Quote:
I made up an "avionics tray" for another 212. I used 3 Futaba S3003(analogue)and 1 DS615 (digital). I used an Assam250 for the tail and FLymentor for the rest. Control is via a Eurgle 9x. First I set up as originally designed ie L/R Cyclic on the Left servo (Aileron) with Fore/Aft cyclic on the Rear servo (Elevator) and Collective on the Right servo (run with the Throttle)- non - CCPM mode without using Flymentor. I trimmed it all out and then installed Flymentor. It was miraculous! Not a twitch to be seen. I flew it and it appeared stable but position hold wouldn’t work. Understandable as the floor in the storage building where we were flying is highly polished. Steve then had a go and it was very scale-like in operation. We flew it several times Unfortunately, I had a heavy landing and damaged the tail boom. However, its now back in action. So, in my case, Flymentor definitely does not like digital servos, but is quite happy with analogue ones. When the weather permits, I'll try it out at the club field Once again, Thank you, Ivor. You're worth your weight in gold! All the best, Alan |

I'm still enjoying my Flymentor set up as well. I'm using one in a 450 for sport flying as well as have a flymentor set up in a 550 sized Jet Ranger.
My helis are all flying quite well. I have digital servos in all my helis using a flymentor and have not noticed any strange behavior. |

Has anyone used a Flymentor set up in a 600 size heli? I wasn't sure if it would work as good in something this large. The Flymentor in my 550 size scale Jet Ranger is rock solid, I'm very pleased with it.
Thanks for the help. |
