VX1N Problem

[waveydavey]

One of these videos? I've done the cross calibration on mine, but not a trim flight as I didn't see anything about it in the documentation. Are you the MK Vortex guru Dave?

No, but I know a man who is Rich

Kev D ? By any chance.

If you set the whole heli up backwards and set the sensor upside to it does fly as the correction direction will be reversed in the servo menu. I managed it on my first one and flew like it for 3 weeks.

You guys, he's gonna have you

Sounds bizarre! Have you got the mounting orientation (sensor cable exit) of the VX1n set correctly?

Can not replicate this on the bench.

When on the bench it's spot on. I can put rudder input in left and right and the swash does not move at all and also to yaw the heli swash does not move.

I have gone through the instructions many times and also spent many hours setting up the heli and vx1n to try and get it right because this is my first FBL System and need to get my head round it.

Have not done the cross axis calibration or piro compensation as i can not see any reference to them in the instructions and don't know what they are. I only know what cross axis calibration is because of RICHARDV post.

raptorheli2 you have got me thinking about my CG because i have not checked it. While i was changing over to FBL i also changed my battery from a Lipo to a LIFe and the LIFe is lighter.

Has the CG got to be spot?

CoG should be as close as possible, but I don't think it would explain these symptoms unless it was massively out to the point that the VX1 couldn't compensate.

Other thoughts : Have you got the swash setup correctly in the VX1(ie. 120deg/140deg/etc.)? Have you got your TX setup correctly (eg. for 1-servo normal swash). What about any trims you might have had in your TX for the heli's previous flybarred life? - perhaps rebind in a new model memory?

Just a silly question... Is it a futaba raido... if so there is a stupid mix that is always turned on you will need to turn off. Revo mix...

Steve beat me to it, I was gonna suggest revo mix in the transmitter. LOL

Have you set the transmitter up to behave in the setup screen on the datapod as in BobO's Video??

And im glad im appreciated means a lot. I feel quite humble now!

some say that kev d is like a stick of black pool rock
cut him in half and it will read vortex all the way through

No its Spartan it reads LOL

No worse that the stout V-bah fanboys! Infact I know one of them who is a much bigger tool than I!

I've had a vx1n for some months, just haven't had the heart to remove a Vbar, doesn't seem as easy to setup as people say, or am I reading into it.

[Rick H]

The Radio is a JR DSX 11. I set the VX1n to 140deg as this is the set up on the heli. Set the radio- 1 servo normal and started with a new model memory.

Thanks for all your input.

Rick.

If it doesnt do it on the bench then it isnt revo mix. It does sound like you need to redo your trimming. Double check your swash is level, seen few that claim they are that are miles off. Do the trim flight and you will be sorted i think.

Took me a little while to get my head round it Brian when I got the first one. But setup is really easy. Once youve set a model up once for a Vortex unit in the radio, you can just copy it to another model memory. No more messing with transmitter setup.

And the heli setup is really simple, you only need a swash level (or mk1 eyeball) and a pitch guage
