Issues with SK720 Blue
So I'm building an X3 using an old SK720 blue that I took out of a Gaui 200/X2, and that had been working fine for me.
Issue #1 As I power it up, occasionally 3 of my 4 servos don't fire up / are unresponsive. Plug it back in, same thing, plug it back in a 2nd or 3rd time and they all eventually work fine. Issue #2 I used the Soko Tool to set up my heli and when I had the heli completely level, I tried to re-level the Gyro through the software, and got a message that this had failed. Tried 3 or 4 times, all with the same result. So maybe I live with issue #2. As to issue #1, would you guys feel comfortable flying it? I can't fly in the weather we've been having so I won't get a test flight in for at least another month. But I'm not sure if I should worry about servos shutting down mid-flight. Haven't witnessed that so far in bench testing ... i.e., once I successfully power up with all servos working, none have shut down mid-pack, but I don't know if I'm risking this.

And what software version are you running? Are you running the auto date feature or the send button? And how stable is the heli during the procedure? Any movement, including the program chord moving even slightly. Will cause a fail. Sometimes a servo chatter on a smaller heli will do the same thing. Hope all this helps?
