34 swash jumps on start, problem?

Hi All,

Just want to share my take on the fairly talked about probotlem with V bar.

I have a Mini V bar (blue) 5.3 (not pro) and I use it on my recently built 450L Dominator (6S).
I use JR DMSS as a standard receiver and ESC is Align RCE-BL45X.

Thing is when I power up, mini V initializes properly but if I disconnect and power up immediately, it does the 34 step dance.
But if I wait for 5 minutes or more (actually timed the 'down' time), it re-initializes properly.

This Saturday, on field however it refused to start up no matter what. Fed up, I did my maiden flight with the "V" blinking. (Attached event log "Mini V Error"). The flight went well ! Later, upon inspecting the log, found that min V was sending "OK" signals within 10 seconds of the dance

Came home (30 min later) and tried powering up. As expected it powered up normally (attached event log "Mini V")

The error shown is about a rough value on Elevator sensor. But now don't know if it is ok to continue flying like that with blinking V in future

It says in the description that the unit may function normally in spite the error. Just want to know what is the general practice ? Logging complaint and getting the Mini V replaced with a proper working Mini V will be super tough for me next to impossible feat

34 jumps really does not affect flight, even if its the sensor as above, its just a snapshot where "this instant in time, during boot stuff was not at center"
that's what 34 jumps mean, it can be unstable radio, gyro or power.

Thanks
So I get that, the elevator sensor might not be centering correctly, but the mini V can still be used ?

34 jumps means cyclic stick wasn't 0 when powering up. Check centering and press "set center"
