is there any help out there with the WOOKONG H

[cbergen]

Zeal is a brand name from Kyosho...

Like trex is from align or goblin is from sab....

[cruzroy]

that's what i mean about manual......it does not go into depth about the helis setup, all it says is in "laymans terms".....make sure heli and mechanics flew before you install wookong......so i appreciate the tips, and sometimes feel stupid,

but yes the heli was set up for 3d flight before i got it and that's the way i flew it.,(Without the 3d part) so the radio and bird where set up with all the idle up switch's and gains, but i have programmed it different caz changed radios to futaba

another stupid question ..........do i still set up idle up switches.......caz i never go there.......i don't fly 3d, or does the WooKong require that setup as well

but thanks i will post pitch next thing i do

[cbergen]

No, you will not use idle up with the Wookong H.

You only have one rotor RPM, and you will NOT want different pitch setups.

It's important to have the heli setup so that it hovers at half stick, which is NOT normally how a 3D setup is done. In this case, consider your multirotors. Half stick is hover, above tells the autopilot to climb, below tells the autopilot to descend. Same with the helicopter version.

If you're hovering at 3/4 stick and flip on the autopilot, what do you think will happen?

[cruzroy]

i want to be the guinea pig for all the people that are afraid to ask question, and try to keep this post going, caz even have people asking me questions.....yeah me, the guy who eats trees with his helis,

ok once it is setup, and i have the b%&Ls to test,
what mode is the best to take off

i watch a youtube vid and the guy took off in manual, went to hit gps and the heli went strait into the ground......so i think that's what you are talking about

again chris, i thank you for your time and help, i wish i was in your town, just stop by and have you look at things, probably be up in running in a few hours.....im just taking my time, and learning alot

[cruzroy]

ok got some checking to do on Saturday

so would you know the best numbers to check with my pitch guage

again thanks for you time

you should be able to get +/- 11-12 degrees collective
cyclic ranges are usually 6-8 degrees

Cbergen is right no idleup for WKH.
Dji manual suggest gas curve: only one.
If you have the gasser motor governed any problem could occour to you.
Test the heli in normal without atti or gps atti, max +8-9 pitch degrees would be fine for fly envelope.
If the heli has stable hovering (half stick) than try with atti or gps atti if ok, than you could also start from ground with auto take off and landing engaged.
My old 700 gasser was flying as a droni (if agree)

[cbergen]

Correct. Initial flight should be in MANUAL mode, no atti, no GPS.

Verify mid stick hovering, FBL gains, tail gains, etc....

When you're happy with all of that, put it in a nice solid hover at appx 30-50 ft up, then switch to atti mode just for a split second, then back off again.

If it doesn't do anything untoward, then you're fine to turn on atti mode for a bit longer, to check the autopilot gains.

The reason the heli in the video smacked itself to the ground was because he had the collective response backwards. You checked that when you did the check when hooked up to the computer.

i started over.....removed washer and 3M vbh tape and added zeal tape, i will post the setup videos here......so throw in any advice , i need all the help i can get...thanks to all

video 1, start over

Goblin 700 WooKong H IMU placement (10 min 44 sec)

[cruzroy]

Goblin 700 WooKong H setup 1 of 8 (15 min 8 sec)

[cruzroy]

Goblin 700 WooKong H setup 2 of 8 (5 min 16 sec)

[cruzroy]

Goblin 700 WooKong H setup 3 of 8 (4 min 7 sec)

[I-FELN]

step 2 right.
step 3: sorry i've not feedback (my heli was flybar). Start with manual suggestion.

[cruzroy]

but i would like to get the gobby wookong project done and flying

2 problems to talk about right now

1. i did a malorie throttle linkage setup, is that ok....
2. pitch ??? i set it at low stick zero pitch, and high stick +10 i dont want to do 3d, and i dont want a slap stick down to crash the bird......just want to hover down

we will star here for now

[cbergen]

If low stick is zero pitch, how do you propose to descend?

[cruzroy]

i figured 10 -10 it would come down fast for sport flying......maybe 10 -5, or does the wookong need pitch to be equal

[cbergen]

I set up a Twin today with the pitch at -6, +5, +12.

Two things are important here, you need enough pitch to be able to descend (and I recommend the proper amount to be able to perform an autorotation), and the mid stick pitch needs to be whatever YOUR helicopter hovers at.

Think about your Multirotors for a moment. At half throttle it hovers, move the stick above half, it climbs. Below half, it descends. This is ALSO how the Wookong H works on your helicopter when you are in atti or GPS mode.

long story short
i was out for a bit for a neck surgery, that turn out to be a rota-tor cuff instead, so long story short, i feel like im starting all over again, i have 3 big gassers sitting on a shelf , so i feel im learning all over again, am i afraid to fly the big birds......yes and no, im just taking my time, and flying a few little birds and drones to get back in shape, i feel i lost 6 years of fly time, from my first walkera UFLY to my big goblin gasser, so if i seem like im asking dumb questions, thats why, im trying to get going again, but laying around for almost a year, and other life things.....you lose track of fun things in life,
im writing this to thank all the people in the many forums i am part of, for all the help and Patience , and watching my noob videos.....LOL
