Default 14MZ throttle problem

I have a 14mz and on one heli (450PRO) with scorpion 60aESC and 2221-8, when im in idle up 1/2 it has more power when i do an inverted climbout off a normal/right ride up climbout

i have checked the thr crv, which is 100% across the board for idle1&2, the only difference is pitch curves.
idle 1 thr crv 100 100 100 100 100
pit crv -10 0 +10

idle 2 thr crv 100 100 100 100 100
pit crv -12 0 +12
and i have checked-and-re-checked like crazy

my ATV's are =100 +100 on every control surface (except rudder which is 110-110 then dual rated down after initialisation)

it feels doughy like its only got about 8 degs of +tive pitch when i know it has +10

this problem isn't occuring on my 250,500

ANY help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Vaughan

Have you made sure you have equal pitch range both positive and negative??

You could put a servo in the throttle channel of the Rx and have a look at what the throttle channel is doing when going through the pitch range. Looking at the servo monitor may show something up.

My guess though is eneven collective pitch.

Hi mate, just tried that, absolytely fine. i think maybe the scorpion 60A ESC needs to be reset.

i'll try resetting ESC and see from there.

Thanks for your input mate
