hard deck install question

[n6nev]

I program with the main sensor disconneced because the swash plate moves about....

[nightflyr]

You have the travel limits set to the max?..- 100 / +100 or 0 /100 on your switch?

[n6nev]

no I lowered the servo travel limits per the set up instructions to %70 , then did the set up with the IR net controller

[nightflyr]

I suggest you reset your switch channel travel limits to their max, and try it again

[n6nev]

travel limits set back to 100% but same problem, I did not do a complete set just the 3 way switch...................thanks for your time

Hi n6nev,

> First, I suggest you leave all setting in the Tx just the way they were when you were successfully flying the helicopter. Only drop the servo travel if the ER's are too aggressive.

> Second, leave all sensors connected during quick setup. Yes the swash will move during setup but this is normal.

> Third, complete Quick setup one more time.

Please let us know if this helps.

Hi n6nev,

I have seen this problem two times in the past. Both times running Windows7. The first time was on a friends laptop. The last time was on my new laptop running Windows7 @64 bit.

I re-installed the driver using this site and that fixed my computer.

Please try this and let me know if it helps.

However if that did not work, try this. Unplug all USB devices from the computer and restart the computer. After restart is complete, plug in the Fuim3 and wait for it to be recognized. Now plug the Fuim3 into the IR net port on CPII. Then launch the Display software. After that select a com port # that is available and will cause the red led to remain ON on the Fuim3. And last power up the Tx and the helicopter.

Bingo , the CP now will turn off. this is progress, now the next problem is the text going away after 2 sec then 20 sec it will return, then over and over...but thanks for your assist....................
