Problem with HBV2 Elevator

[Tumbledown]

Hi everyone,

I got myself a Honeybee V2 a month ago as a complete novice. Over the last couple of weeks my flying has come along, mainly thanks to me getting a Blade 120 sr, I'm able to hold a hover for an entire battery on the Bee and forward flight with small turns on the 120sr. As I'm intending to stay in the hobby I recently got myself a DX7 with the intention of controlling my two heli's and any future aircraft.

Today I converted my HBV2 with a Spektrum AR6115e, it was all pretty painless it actually took more time to get the proportion right than converting the 4 in 1. However when I did get the proportion dialled in and tried to hover I found it very difficult. At first I put it down to the DX7 and adjusted the throttle curve, to no avail. I then noticed that if I push the elevator forward it increases the throttle, if I pull back it reduces the throttle i.e. (Throttle @ 20% push elevator forward it gets light and almost lifts, Throttle @ 20% pull elevator back the motor stops!!).

Anybody any ideas?

I have non standard servos, could they be the problem? Although I didn't notice the problem before the conversion.

Cheers

I doubt the problem is with the servo's. The most likely reason would be the Tx / Rx setup, with having something mixed up or not compatible.

Cheers CPN,

You got me out of the blind alley that was servo's. I started to think what could be mixed up, I then swapped the connections over placing throttle in the AUX socket and rudder to RUD socket and it works. I now have a lot more control compared to the supplied tx.

Thanks again
