quick ikon question

[_tj_]

Got an Ikon in the 450.
Learnt a lot more since installing it.

I've now ordered one for my Blade 550x (Can't get along with the AR7200X)

In setup the heli size options are the usual, and 500 and 600 size.

Which size should I set it to?
I'm thinking 600, but want to make sure.

600 is cool , there only base settings for head gain , roll rates an derivative gain , tune from there onwards

Thanks,

Looking forward to flying blade with it if the 450 is anything to go by.

Even more as it was £25 cheaper in the hk offer.

2nd question / issue

Managed to get to the field for a test today.

During hovering, tail drifts to the right.
Increased tx gain, nothing, still drifted.

Ended up raising tx gain to 96, no oscillating, and drift.

Then changed tail servo from 333hz to 200hz

Restarted ikon.

Hmm drift was minimal to non existent.
Had a flight, all seemed good.
Self level worked better than 450 just sat there.

Thinking I'd finally sorted it.
Changed battery.

As soon as lifted off, instant tail drift again.

Cannot figure why the tx gain isn't having any effect at all.

Now deciding whether to do a factory reset and start again.
Or if it's something in the software I've missed.

Dont know anything about the Ikon, but make sur eyou are in heading hold mode. Heading hold shouldn't drift at all, so id say its either in rate mode or you have some trim in the transmitter you dont know about...

[Raving Jim]

In the software make sure you haven't ticked set in software for tail gain , also in transmitter menu , adjust your tail gain in transmitter an make sure this is changing the value on screen .

Set in software is unticked.
Heading hold is green in menu with tick.

Was using the android app at field.
And gain value was changing with tx gain.

Then it wasn't after changing menu and going back in to it.

Think I need to hook it up to laptop.

Could the update of not taken properly.
Ikon software made me update it before first use.
