no 3D

[wiseman]

hi all, been setting up my genius 450, had almost no lift even at max throttle, gone through set up again and noticed the transmitter wont flick into 3D mode so i cant begin a head set up. it has been ok before so any ideas may be a rebind but im not sure....

check the pitch range to see if you have enough?

What TX is it?

[wiseman]

hi,guys
checked my tx, its an e fly etc2-2.4ghz. ive tried setting things up by watching the finless bob videos, clearly missed some thing so im of to have another watch

On the Century UK website, they have all the default transmitter settings, found some on there for my Blaze a couple of months back, they might have your Genius ones on there?

whats happening, as i understand it when setting the pitch after the swash and servos have been levelled the heli is put into ideal up (3D), the head moves up a small amount then the process of adjusting the pitch can be carried out. for some reason when i put my heli into ideal up the head doesnt move up.. to confuse things a bit more when i spool up the heli and switch to ideal up i can hear the motor changing to the higher rpm.

jimbo, where abouts on the century site are default setting, i cant see them.

does this help?

Default Settings for the Century UK Transmitters

thanks very much, but their sight kept crashing so i emailed them today and replied and sent me a pdf copy of my transmitter settings, very pleased to say every thing seems fine now, just need to do a little test flight, so i must say a big thanks to century uk at sittingborne.......

whilst having a good preflight check this morning i noticed i havent fixed my ideal up issue after all, me well peeed off, i can only get the ideal up whilst the throttle stick is at its lowest point, has any one got a solution, i had sent the transmitter setting from century i could up load them or forward them, im not suggesting they are wrong but it might help if some one wants to look over them and suggest a fix.

Have you got a link to the tx manual? I don't know the tx but I'm not sure by what you mean about not going into 3D mode? Does it change modes but have the wrong settings?

[wiseman]

cjc1949,,, i think you may have hit on the problem because the head will only go into ideal up (3D) when i flick the switch whilst the throttle stick is at its lowest position (0 stick),, i just dont how to correct it. i dont have a link to the heli manual but i can send you the settings that century emailed to me.

[wiseman]

as a suggestion i have told my heli might giving me negitive pitch instead of positive in the transmitter hence my problems, how do i change this....

[wiseman]

Still not resolved this problem so can i reopen the help question, perhaps putting it slightly differently, my heli seems to be machanicaly set up ok but will only go into ideal up when the throttle stick is at zero, im about to throw a few quid at it and send it to the shop where thay can have a look but it would be great if i can resolve it from the guidance from you guys

Hate to say this buddy but you're not giving enough information for anyone to be much help to you. Idle Up settings on your T/X, i.e. throttle curves, pitch curves etc might be helpful to know these. On initial setting up, in normal mode if you like, did all the numbers come good with the manual ? If not you won't get idle up 1, 2, to conform to the required manual figures. The basics must be correct first or all that follows will be poop.
