Have I broke it already?

Possibly sounds like swash type is set to 120deg change it to 1Serv90.
Although I'm sure incorrect swash type allows lift but makes the models impossible to control.

Can`t seem to find where that is?

[dam74]

Which TX do you have?

[AndyH]

LP5DSM proportional 5 CH tx

Hi Andy,
Sounds like your tx might need recalibrating in Phoenix. Make sure the all trims are centred, including the throttle and the channel 5 control on the top of the tx. This will also need to be operated through its full range when calibrating.

tried that but now just whizzes up and tips over and crashes?

Tried compensating with the sticks in all directions but flat out and I cant take off..........

Just went back to chinook and cant fly that either! just rolls over to port and crashes!

[dam74]

That really does sound like a swash type issue but not sure if the msr/mcx tx can change that. I know it has some dip switches but which ones to change I don't know.

[tiddler]

You need to make sure each control stick is asigned to the correct channel.
Go to System >>>> Your Controls >>>> Edit >>>> you will then get a screen come up where you can asign each control to the correct channel.

Standard dip switch settings for the LP5DSM CX2/3 Transmitter are 1.... 6..... & 7 Up.
All others down I believe.
Although no matter how they are set on the tx you should be able to compensate for any channel reverses from within Phoenix.

confused now, tried that.

but chinook went forward and back for L & R on the RH stick
UP & Down didnt do left and right lean on the heli?

Think I am gettig confused with all the settings and names...... off to bed now and hope there is 3ft of snow so I can have a fun 1st day back at work as taxi driver inthe morning! will try and hover the real thing above the bed tomorrow night!
