Tail Kick Around Center Stick

[hduk]

Hey Folks,

Not sure if this is a setting issue on my Vortex or a general issue with the heli.

I maidened my Logo 600 yesterday and noticed a strange issue when transitioning through center stick. The tail seems to kick at exactly the same point on the stick every time. Above or below there no issue.

I'm running a 12s setup, scorpion motor castle esc, haven't yet upgraded the firmware to 3.0. I tried flattening the throttle curve at the point at which its kicking but this made no difference. I'm running 30% tail gain, no wag at all. Also i have the Mikado static kit fitted and the continuity from tail to motor checks out ok.

I have the ESC on the stock settings

Any pointers?

Thanks in advance......

It sounds like it could be tail precomp, I'm not familiar with vortex but it's normal with vbar. As the blade disc gets loaded the fbl automatically adds pitch to the tail to compensate

So as your doing flips and rolls the tail is wagging?

Not even getting that far, its literally in the hover, between 50% and im guessing 55% stick travel it kicks.

The curve was originally linear but to see if the step was too much i changed the values so that there was less of a difference but it still kicks in the same place.

Have you tried a normal flat line electro curve? Is the castle a second hand unit.

Everything brand new for this build.....

Haven't tried a completely flat curve as it was a maiden but could give it a try next outing. Wonder if its worth checking firmware on the ESC, not sure how long it sat on the shelf before i bought it.

It could just be the esc reaching its power band, and giving a little kick as the current and pwm rate fall in line. Not had much experiance with castle. The vortex does have prcomp but thats if your punching the throttle hard and getting a kick.
