3GX with trex 250

[DanWright]

Just found a shim that will fit, so I'll fit that tomorrow and I'll post the results in the next few days. Thanks both for your input

apart from the slop, what channel are you using for your gains? I hope its aux2 and not the gear channel .. the way you describe it, it almost sounds you dont get any authority at all, which happens if you select the wrong channel

Yup, the 3GX expects gain on channel 7, not 5. Worth checking! What's your radio?

I've got the futaba 8fg. That's something I was unaware of. Maybe I have got it in the wrong plug!?! I'll check when I get home from work. Thanks guys!

It's not a case of wrong plug - it's simply checking that your radio outputs its gyro gain setting on channel 7. Afraid I'm a Spekky user so can't help on how to check that ...

Can't see to well on yours but just checked mine & theirs a spacer tube in middle of tail shaft that seems to prevent play, check mine no play in the shaft at all.

He's not using sats, using rx, not sure on futaba but it will still be the gains channel.

not sure about pootaba either but the web revealed "On the gyro page you need to actvate the mix and set the gyro mode to GY to get it to work" - possibly worth checking if this is set correctly

[DanWright]

Gyro is set correctly on my tx and all leads are connected to the right port on my rx... I'm hoping its just the slop in the tail that's causing the problem :/

Weather looks flyable tomorrow! Let us know!

There's nowt in mine so any amount you have is going to have an effect...!

[DanWright]

Not sure if ill get out tonight to test it, but I'll keep you informed

[tourerjim]

So you've managed to space it.?

[DanWright]

I managed to fly it to day. Got into a nice stable hover and have it full throttle/pitch... And the tail held perfectly! This was after adding the washer to the tail output shaft behind the gear! Thanks very much all for your input, I've put 3 battery's through it, and its flying really nice!
Thanks again all, much appreciated! I can now fly down on my caravan site when I go away on the weekends
