Ikon Rescue

[Justin vaughan]

Has anyone come across this problem.
just set up the ikon on my Trex 700.
when I hit rescue in a hover , the Heli climbs , but the tail won't hold and the nose turns right as it climbs .

I was getting it without activating rescue due to my gains in tx.

But my rescue has been flawless since I done that.
Could it be the gain on the rescue setting.
Just a guess.

I had this once (in a scary way) when I accidentally had +100 mixed into the gain when rescue was activated (Spirit fbl where rescue is activated by negating tail gain).

Is probably caused by the sudden application of lots of pitch, as the rescue function applies by default 75% of the maximum pitch as defined by yout tx pitch curve.

If you go into the advanced menu, then 'setup', then 'tail', try increasing the 'pitch precompensation' by 5 points at a time until the tail holds in a full pitch application or when rescue activated.

If you have a very aggresive pitch curve, you may need to adjust the 'rescue pitch max' in the 'gov and level' tab in the 'setup', try reducing by 5 points at a time, too much and your rescue will be too slow.

Hope that helps, i've set up quite a few of the Brain units and all have worked very well with just a little bit of tweaking.
