HOW TO ! HK450, Turnigy 9X, and Flymentor

[eberhard]

Cruz, first of all tnx for the vids, stopped me from throwing the FM in the trash. I almost got it working the way I like but one thing I dunno how to do. The Turnigy has a 3-way switch for which you can program the mixes right? So I wanted to set that switch to control the balance/positioning/off for the FM. Besides hours of annoying beeps I have not figured it out yet, maybe you know how to?

Again, thanks for the very helpfulll instruction-vids

Just bringing this to the top, I need it later tonight. Having trouble getting the collective to work with my flymentor and turnigy 9x.

[UBHSTRY]

I have no collective I think my flymentor is bad. It has absolutley no collective in heli1. it does in heli 3, but doesnt work right.

Have you set FM to 3 servo 120 degrees mix?

[cruzroy]

pril250 is right, not only has your radio have to be set, the fm as well, they both have to be-able to talk to each other,,,are you using helibal or the programmer ???the turnigy is a radio by itself, so it dont work like a spectrum or futaba, so the radio should be H1 and the flymentor should be 3s 120 , and on radio, all servos should be in normal, except if you using external gyro like i do.

[cruzroy]

also go into radio settings under "DISPLAY" and see if when you move the sticks, it every thing is moving as it should, BUT the Turnigy 9x is set at H1 and the flymentor is set at 3s120 ???? BUT WHAT HELI DO YOU HAVE.......???? did you say and im getting old...thanks

I am using the programmer.

Thank you, I have done that and it all is working right on the display. Plus if I plug into the rx, all works.

I am working on a HK500CMT

Radio at H1, flymentor at 3s120

I have come to the conclusion my flymentor is simply bad. Wont work on my dx6i either. Simply will not give me collective...which freaking sucks nuts.

[pril250]

I find this hard to comprehend. If the cyclic can control all three servos the pitch should also work since the mixed pitch function is in the firmware and not the hardware. Are you sure your pitch curve is not all zeros? Should be set to 0,25,50,75,100 for setup purposes.

Yep, positive. Have reset it, reprogramed it, yadda yadda yadda.

i think if you can......we need a video......please, im dumb with words....but maybe if i see radio and movements...i don't....just maybe, if you can
