FLYMENTOR INSTALLED, BUT TAIL IS ALL OVER THE PLACE

bangwings · 07-29-2012, 12:01 AM

I have replaced my old faulty FM with a new one, i have the field programmer and have the basic leveling corrections working, the main issue is the tail gyro, this is all KDS system. KDS 450SV,KDS K-7XII transmitter and KDS FM system. I need to know what i should have the stock setting on the tx and what value i need to program into the FM for tail Gyro, right now they are both way off and the tail does not hold, stick inputs just go left and right, they start slow then the tail will whip in the direction of input. Since this was a new FM i had to start from scratch and i have no clue as to what the tx should be set at or what to enter into the field programmer for the gyro. Any advice, information or solution would be greatly appreciated. The previous FM held the tail very well. Please Help!

Check your other post 'Flymentor Gyro on KDS 450 sv will not hold' as I have replied with further advice and a photo.

I cannot give any further advice apart from if it still wont hold then its a faulty unit and you should return it for a replacement. I have read on other forums that the reliabilty and quality control can be a bit hit and miss. You may have one of the bad units.

Good Luck!
