Heli retracts on 7C

leonmike · 12-27-2009, 06:38 AM

Hi guys, don't have much luck in getting a reply on the scale heli section, therefore i repost here hopefully someone can give me some advices,

This is the first time i am doing retracts on my new build 450 Airwolf. Any Futaba 7C users out there can advice me on which channel i should plug my retract servo into and how do i assign the switch to control the retracts? I am having the R617FS Rx. I have my gyro already plugged into ch4 n gain in ch5, so only left with ch7 not utilised.

Guys, since i don't have a reply so far,i have bee thinking for the last few days whether i can plug it this way. Plug my gyro on ch7 and plug the retract servo on ch4. Do you think it will work???

Why don't you want to use CH7 for the retracts?
You can program it to use any switch you like.
Access it from the Parameters sub menu, you can then assign the Aux channels 5 and 7 to whatever you like. You will already be using CH5 for Gyro gain.

Hello Ian, tried it on ch7 and allocated switch to it. Really works beautiful and with a slow module retract servo movement slows down to 4 secs. Thanks again.

Thants good!
Thanks for the feedback, you never know I may get round to fitting a scale body to my TRex 450S and this information will be useful.
