Normal & Idle1 setup question

RC_Feen · 01-15-2011, 12:29 AM

After a long break from the Protos I'm reviewing my setup before getting the heli in the air again and I had a question. When I switch between normal mode and idle1 my pitch servo jumps up slightlty. I've double checked everything and my pitch settings for normal and idle 1 are the same through the whole range. What is causing this jump of my pitch servo between normanl and idle1? I've rebind and I'm still seeing the jump. Any idea how I can dial this out? Thanks!

What radio ?? On my DX7 the trim settings are mode specific - if I change from Normal to Idle 1 the trim settings are not necessarily the same - this could cause what you are seeing ...

Mikej...I'm using a DX7 also. That might be it. I'll check the trim settings for Idle1.

Just check my trim settings while in idle1 and found that the trims were not at zero. Such a simple fix. Thanks!
