Master CP not lifting off

Cannot do this now as I'm at work but will try when I'm home.

Thanks for your help

Kevin

Correct . Once done use pitch travel adjust if you need to, to get the +10 deg of pitch your looking for at high stick and -10 deg at low stick .

[kevtucker]

Thanks. Will have a go at it tomorrow.

Kevin.

Last thing Barry.

So When I put the Throttle to Full Stick I adjust with TRAVAD PITCH H %
and TRAVAD PITCH L % for low stick in the Tx.

Sorry for all questions. Just hoping I'm doing everything correctly this time.

correct . No problem ask as many questions as you wish ., i'm glad to help .

[kevtucker]

I get it now. So the TRAVAD is adjusting each of the Three servos in either direction on how much they move when you use the Sticks ??

Yes , its adjusting the range of movement from center of servo travel .

[5488fletcher]

After your done adjusting TRAVADJ and the head is all set up and you have your -10 at low , mid stick is 0 pitch with arms level and high stick is +10 deg , you can go back into your normal pich curve and reset PL so you have between 0 and -2 deg at low stick . This will keep you from slamming heli into the ground during a panic throttle shut off as the ground is coming . Nothing like full negative pitch to help tear up a heli .

Was going to ask if I left it after I set up, so my Pitch Curve I could put to say :

PL -35%
P1 INH
P2 INH
PM 0%
P3 INH
P4 INH
P5 100%

That will work good for you in normal flight mode .

[kevtucker]

Hi mate. Think I have managed to get the 0 degrees and 10 degree at High and Low stick.

Have to wait till Friday till I can try to Fly as I'm on Night shift all week.

Also just ordered this

Ill let you know how I go Barry and thanks for help. Will be back if I have a problem



Kevin

[5488fletcher]

Good luck .

[5488fletcher]

Hows your heli flying ?

[kevtucker]

Well Barry.

It's in repair again. Had a accident in house with it where I flicked wrong switch on Tx and it has hit a wall and burnt the Main Motor out so just waiting on new one.

I also have a Xtreme Swashplate / Rotor Head and Blade grips to put on.

I posted about the blade grips yesterday regarding the washer placement.

I should be backup this weekend. Been playing with my new V911 I got Saturday. It's brilliant I love it

I wanted to add something after watching cruzroys video set up that i forgot to mention but you may already know .After you get the head properlly set up with the 0 deg . arms 90ed,and m= 0 in pich curve in normal throttle mode , if heli feels like it drops to fast go into your pitch curve and adjust for 4 or 5 deg of positive pitch at mid stick . Your only concerened with having p=0 when you are setting servo arms at 90 and adjusting the head for proper geometry . Once this is done play with the pitch curve to get the feel that helps you learn . You may have to raise your throttle curve m position a little if heli is bogging down .

[kevtucker]

Just got all parts put on.

Problem is I have positve pitch at low stick and negative at high stick.

Will have another look tomorrow but any ideas why this is ?

Kevin

[5488fletcher]

You probably have the new extreme blade grips set wrong . They should be set for leading edge control , i bet your set for trailing edge control . blade grip link should be on same side as leading edge of main blades .

[kevtucker]

Hi Barry

Will post a picture tomorrow of how I have the blades and grips place. Everything looks fine to me. All look same way as per instructions.

Getting frustrated with this now

Thanks

Make sure also that your not reversed in the transmitter for pitch in the servo reversing menu page .

[kevtucker]

Haha was using the gauge the wrong way round

Its ok now.

So, This is what I have done

Set Pitch Curve to PL=-100% PM=0% PH=100%

Got -10% at Low Stick With TRAVAD PITCH at L = 25%
Got +10% at High Stick With TRAVAD PITCH at H = 35%
Got 0 at Mid Stick

Then I have copied the settings to a new slot and changed Pitch Curve to

PL=-35% PM=0% PH=100%

Then I get on the gauge

-3% at Low Stick and 16% at High Stick and 0% at Mid Stick

Is this all correct ? Not tried to fly it yet though. Just wanted to verify I had done it correctly.

Again Thank you for your help and sorry for been a pain Just all a bit confusing and want to get the Heli in the air.

Are you wanting to run 16 degrees at high stick ? Also i noticed that your TRAVAD percents are not both 25 . If you lower the high one to match the low one do you have10 degrees blade pitch both directions ? If you do than your good . If all is good give it a whirl . If you dont like the feel of it around center you can always change the midde stick percent to give you 4 or 5 degrees positive pitch around around center stick but only in normal throttle mode .
