Need some help skookum 540 set up

[panamacitymustang]

I'm stuck on step 23. It's saying I need to get 65 -100 on collective

[Larry227]

I assume you mean in one of the setup wizards? The initial setup wizard or swash wizard. I can't see 23 in the Initial unless I hook mine up and reset center.

[panamacitymustang]

Sorry. Yes it's the initial set up right after you center the sticks

[Larry227]

Step 23 in the Initial Wizard is where you put both sticks in the lower right corners and click the "Set stick limits" button.
Not sure where you're seeing the 65-100 collective message?

Did you watch the setup videos here? http://helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=358016

Are you sure you have a 0-100 pitch curve in whatever flight mode you are doing the programing in?

=] what handset here?

[panamacitymustang]

I have my pitch and throttle curves linear. I never touched them but I checked them. I have no expo or d/r set. I set my travel adjust all to +125. That didn't work. I'm using 2 spektrum sats and a dx6i. On step 23 of the initial step wizard.
The message I keep getting is stick limits failed adjust your servo travels in your transmitter so the values in the inputs from your reciever fields are between 65 and 125 percent at full tranitter stick deflection and try again.

My inputs from reciever are
Elevator 16.6 green
Aileron -5.2 pink
Rudder 84.8 green
Collective 100 green
All these values are with the sticks in lower right corner

Not to worry, if the Set Control Stick Scaling fails, you can skip the step and instead, you can do it manually and is almost as easy:

1) Click Utility -> Reset Stick Scaling
2) Set the servo/channel reversing in your radio so:
* a) nose-up stick gives green
* b) right aileron gives green
* c) right rudder gives green
* d) up collective stick gives green
3) Now set the endpoints/travels in the radio for each channel to get 100% at full stick in each direction, on the pilot inputs screen.

That's all.

Thank you ill try this when I get a chance. I'm a noob thanks again

i had that issue with my old futaba, even though it was reading 100% in the throttle (software)menu, i had to reduce my throttle atv to 76% before it went below 100%in the software , my throttle atv is set at 78% now and i get past that step with no issue

[panamacitymustang]

Ok I finally made it to step 24 on the initial set up. My concern is for me to get the aileron percent I need i had to go into the swash mix in my tx. I had to set the aileron to +125 is that ok. On the elevator it's-60 and pitch is +60. On step 24 of the wizard it says to move the elevator stick nose up and it should read 100 percent. Should my throttle stick be at mid stick or zero throttle while I nose up.

=] there should be no active Tx swash mix? one servo type or H1 for Futaba users, the throttle stick position makes no odds to the elev stick. check out the video section in the sticky.

[panamacitymustang]

I'm using a spektrum tx. I made it to the second wizard. The only way I could Achieve the values I needed I had to set the swash mix in my tx to
Aileron +125
Elevator+60
Pitch-110
Will this be ok
Sorry I'm a real beginner. I have been watching the vids also.

=] something is wrong? don't worry about the questions, we were all new to this once! plenty of sound help in here.

the part I don't follow is the reference to the Tx swash mix? this should be set to "one servo" type in the handset. is this so?

[panamacitymustang]

i was looking for that function in my tx but couldn't figure it out. i seen something in the function list it read servo 90 but that was under swash type.
