IKON Tail Menu-Help!

[mlp3028]

I am a convert from my AR7200BX to IKON. I'm finding a few challenges with the tail servo setup.

I am setting up my DS8900g tail servo on my Trex 500 and when I set it to 1520/270 in the select tail servo, the frame on respective digital 1520 servo changes color and I use the slider to establish 270 from 200 frequency.

I move on through the menus and complete my setup and save my file on the pc. So far so good.....

Challenge #1: When I return to the look at the IKON again, the frame is no longer changed in color to identify my chosen tail servo HOWEVER it retains the 270 frequency.

Challenge #2: IN HH mode, I can set endpoints for my tail servo and direction is fine. I cycle through the menus and save. When I connect a second time my endpoints were not retained and the tail slider is hitting off to one side. I have done this several times with the same result. side.

Thanks in advance for your help...

I'm not positive but I think you have to click the arrow and move to the next "page" of the wizard to ensure the changes are saved to the unit. Can anyone confirm?

I have heard of this before, sounds like your iKON isn't saving settings. It should save real time. Try factory resetting the unit and trying again.

Thanks for the input, I will try a factory reset and using only the arrows for screen change. I'll report back with my results.

Try to do the changes in the advance menu... I have also seen values not storing in "basic" menu.

I have reset twice and use the arrows for screen changes and the tail settings still do not save to the controller. I checked in the advance menu and they confirm the changes are not being saved for the tail. I am trying for the 1520 tail servo set to 270 freq. Everything else saves well. I am using Windows XP. Any other ideas???

This is normal when altering the default setting. I'm using 1520/333 on my rappie 50. Box does not stay highlighted the next time I go in, but the freq is still 333 and the center pulse is still 1520.

Challenge #2: IN HH mode, I can set endpoints for my tail servo and direction is fine. I cycle through the menus and save. When I connect a second time my endpoints were not retained and the tail slider is hitting off to one side. I have done this several times with the same result. side.

I got no clue on this one! Perhaps try using advanced menu to adjust end points. It's servo number 4.

Thanks, I will give the tail endpoints in the Advanced Menu some time.
