Seeking advice please

Hi

New to RC helis have got a Mini titan with 401 gyro futaba rear servo. I crashed it at the weekend have now bolted new bits to it. But when I spooled it up it was in reverse so I switched the wires on speed controller which has worked. But now when I throttle up the swash plate lowers rather then lift which of course wont let me hover. Any ideas would be welcome please.

Hi Kev

Thanks for getting back it is a futaba radio T6Ex I re newed the tail servo with one the same futabe s3154. It went into reverse I have got myself into a muddle with it now I re set the trns to factory presets to cure it but now I am lost the servos have all moved the speed controller stopped working argggg will have to find someone local and see if they can help. Serves me right for playing with it not knowing what i was doing.

Firstly, DON'T PANIC.

Now, take a deep breath and calm down So, we know you have a Mini Titan and a Futaba 6EX which has now been reset to default.

So, what exactly is happening when you plug in now? Can you get the servos to move at all? If not you may find the throttle channel is reversed so the ESC won't arm as it is not seeing zero throttle. But tell us what you see and then we can work through it

where abouts in the uk are you?? There is a good chance that there will be someone on here that will be willing to help you.

Where abouts are you? My advise would be to find a local club as I am sure there would be members willing to help out and give you support to get started in this hobby

PS welcome to the site!!

Hi Guys

I live in cheshire. So far I have read the trans manual and got the throttle working all servos move together up and down. But now any right stick inputs wont work IE aileron etc i am poking around in the dark and completely lost as to why it reversed in the first place. Still no speed controller being a newbie it,s quite hard to understand the instructions and what everything means thanks to you all for your help. Done lots of different hobbies this is the most frustrating one to date. Took me six months and 2 helis just to get confident hovering.

NB When I put power to the heli I no longer get the bleeping sound either.

You'll get there Mark, don't worry. Your acomplishments for six months are quite good m8!

BTW you haven't reversed the polarity of the battery have you?

Hi Dave

No all conections were the same I have had this problem before but somebody cured it for me as ever he was quick but did not see what he did and can not get hold of him now .

I'm not conversant with Futaba tx's I'm afraid
But if the swash is moving correctly with the collective control (Left stick up and down) you probably need to have a look at the throttle curve which will also work on the left stick up and down, but is a separate setting to that of the collective pitch curve.
Also, make sure the throttle and throttle trim are all the way down, otherwise the ESC may not arm when plugged in.
As for the right hand stick, that may be down to the swash mix settings.
