pheonix pitch problems

[smiles]

Hi all,got my pheonix sim today and have got most of it set up but for the pitch,i seem to have all or nothing it idle's fine and you apply throttle gradually and the engine speeds up but i dont get any pitch untill im at full throttle and i get 100% pitch im using a futaba f7c and as far as i no its set up fine i just know this is going to be something stupid but would be very gratefull for any help as im itching to get started.


Regards Smiles.

Is the pitch channel assigned correctly in the sim?

Cheers,

sometimes for some reason when you calibrate this can happen. Recalibrate and it works fine. Its a known (minor) issue and will be fixed at some point.

Hi Rob Ade, pitch channel assigned to channel 6 and works with the correct stick but like i said its all or nothing i have recalibrated it several times and still the same i have allso re-installed the software and recalibrated the controls but still no joy.

what transmitter are you using?

if you go to the calibration screen but dont actually calibrate does the red bar move linearly?

Ade

Futaba 7c,the throttle moves as it should but the pitch just goes full red when the throttle is about 90% and disappears at the same point when throttling down.

check your pitch curves and servo end points are default. (might be easier to default the model memory) when you calibrate do it slowly one control at a time make sure the bars move as they should nice and linearly.

if its still giving you trouble after that, drop me a PM i will drop you my phone number... easier to do this over the phone.

you need to be infront of your computer with the sim running and tx in hand.

On the configure controls page do i need to select the standard futaba or the futaba with collective pitch.

Halelujah went outside for a ciggie kicked the wheelie bin a few times came back in gave it one last shot a re-calibration and its working fine cheers for your input guys.

Best regards Smiles.

Would you beleive it just get things working now me batterys flat, i would like to get a spare anyway is it worth upgrading if so what is best or just buy another of the standard futaba issue(futaba 7c).

Pays your money and takes your choice - you can get a x8 AA holder and put in some NiMh 2500's - these have great capacity and less memory effect than the NiCd for top-up charges. They are a little on the heavy side for actual flying - need the Tx on a shopping trolley almost - in which case I prefer the much lighter NiCd. Some people have put LiPo in but I haven't seen one the right size and the voltage of a fully charged 3S lipo is gonna be 12.6V which I feel is a little higher than the specified 9.6V.

[robgt]

You want one of these.

Cheers,

I agree with Rob on that, had the exact same vapextech battery in my 9C for a couple of years and it has been great.

It's been quick charged everytime and has logged some serious hours on Reflex and Phoenix as well as at the field and is still going strong
