VX1e Setup problem

[aww]

I've finished converting my RJX Xtreme 50 to fbl and have setup my VX1e but I have a problem. The swash is set correctly, everything is moving in the right direction except that in order to get the swash to move in the right direction when tilting the heli left/ right/ forward backwards, I need to set the unit as InFr but the sensor it is mounted right side up cables to the rear. What have I done wrong?

try to reverse your ch ail / elev on your radio and redo the setup on the vortex and see what happens

I doubt that will make any difference as the TX doesn't control the compensation directions if you physically tilt the heli.

The only thing I can think of is that you've plugged in SV1, SV2 and SV3 incorrectly. They need to go in a clockwise fashion around the swashplate. See :

had the same thing happen with my G380 , everything worked great but not the compasation left/right and the tail , så reverved my ail and rudder on my radio and re did the setups , 8 flight and no issues just waiting for the rain to stop so I can injoy my G380 more

on my DX9 - G380

That just seems wrong though? I'd rather find the root cause than fly on a work around! The setup for the compensations should be a no-brainer! Assuming SV1, SV2 and SV3 are plugged in, in the right order, it should just work. If they are clockwise as shown and the compensations are still wrong, I'd PM Angelos ..

see under Transmitter : http://www.spartan-rc.com/products/v...?menu=5&item=3

• Transmitter Live Controls - This screen shows a live representation of the transmitter controls. You must adjust your transmitter so all controls read 0% when the sticks are centred and barely reach 100% when the sticks are at full deflection. Before you start make sure your transmitter is set to '1 servo' , S-1 or H-1 swashplate type and that the trims remain zeroed in all flight modes. Start by adjusting the transmitter's channel reversing, then sub-trims and finally end-points.

You may be right. I thought that was to adjust swashplate control from the TX though - not about compensation directions. Prepared to be proved wrong though!

D'oh. That's what's wrong. Reversed ail. switch re-set sensor direction and it works as it should. I don't know how I didn't spot this .Thanks
