Just took my 600N out for the maiden this morning and am not happy at all.
Quick look at my setup (all brand new)
600N LE before you could by with the 3-g bundled
JR 8917 HV's on 8v
SGP Reactor X2
BlS-251 tail
YS 56
Hatori
Edge 693 FBL's
TJ RevMax pro

Double and triple checked my setup Fri evening. Quick check at the field, and fired it up for initial hover.

Just as heli gets light on the skids it piros. Think to myself Dummy you have the dir. reversed. Check it and get no rsponse on the tail servo when I turn the helis nose, servo responds to a stick input though. Take it back shut it down run through gyro setup again. Walking heli to flight line and double check before spool up. Same problem again. Back to the bench where I double check all my Shoe gooped connections to make sure nothing is loose. Reset system and mess with it for a good 5 min while idiling. Servo responded with proper connection so I decide to try a hover.
Lift it into a waist high hover for approx 15 sec. when all hell breaks loose. Goes into a full speed uncontrolled piro. FBL did a good job of keeping it somewhat level and I set it down hard. Broken fin, stripped tt gears, tail blades broke, tail case spun and broke off screw I had pinning it to the boom.

This is my fourth 3-g unit flying them with sucsess on my 700N and 500 other than the tail piro consotency sucking so I know the ins and out of this system. Looks like a faulty unit and I am not so happy about it. Spent alot of $$$ on all brand new high end equipment to risk it on a faulty unit. the cyclic controls worked fine though out this whole ordeal. Can't wait for my Total-G for the 700, and if the update does not work wonders on the tail when it comes out next week (cough cough) I will be pulling all my 3-g electronics for the Total-Gs

JR X9303/Spektrum AR 7000. Rebound after all setup work was done like I always do.

ok,well I asked about the Tx. cause I had a similar problem but mine let me know on the bench before hand.
twitchy servo's,constante minor corrections,and servo delay.
I've got a buddy who also crashed his 700 and his 3G never actted correctly after the crash I figure he sent it to Align,disapointed he went back to the flybar.
the maidin on my 700 might be this sunday,let you now how that goes.
