Hello all, just set up my 3gx system on an Align 500efl pro, all seems to be the way it should. However, I set up +10 degrees and my negative is off the guage completely. How do I get rid of so much negative pitch?

Thanks for the help!

So, you mean you have 10deg positive but off the scale neg?
Did you set your pitch up with a linear curve eg 0,25,50,75,100 in DIR and then adjust swash links etc to get equal pos-neg and 0 at mid stick. Also, were your servos at 90 deg?

Yes I have a linear curve on the pitch settings set up in my DX6i. I have 0 degrees at mid stick and +10 at full. However, at low stick I have probly +16 degrees negative. How do I get rid of that much negative pitch?

So servo arms are 90 at mid stick also?

Glad you got it sorted.

-edit- It might be worthwhile posting what the cause was just for future reference and others benefit.

Before programming your 3GX make sure ALL previous model information is erased from your TX and you are truly starting with a NEW model in your TX.

All good.
Sometimes we miss the most basic things when troubleshooting.
I assumed you would have erased all setting/mixes also, when giving my thoughts above.

Just goes to show, 'never assume' either

I have the other way. To much positiv pitch. I get it now pretty close. But in flight mode positive 11 and negative 9. Why? Lowered the swashplate almost to max. I get my vbar soon and i hope i get it right. 3gx maybe a good gyro but in my hands is crap. With beastx not these problems.
