Sudden pump of collective during flying ??

[SamS]

When I'm flying a Helicopter in Phoenix, and i'm just hovering around I tend to suddenly get a random pump of collective, which shoots the heli up into the air, i'm not sure when the problem is, but it's always done it ??

Anyone ??

Do you mean random as in you don't move the collective at all? Or is it just very sensitive? If it is totally random try recalibrating your transmitter. If it is just sensitive to movements then there is a setting you can change. Let me know which it is and will check through my settings as i can't remember the setting off the top of my head

I'd recalibrate first.

It's just random, nothing to do with the sensitivity :/

mine made a "crashing" sound in mid air last night. I just carried on flying as normal

Dx6i? Mine does it all the time. I treat it as uber wind gust and live with it
Doesn't happen on 8FG.

My Dx6i does this as well, mine seems to be a twitch more than a big movement. happens quite regular and thought it was a problem with the Tx. not noticed anything like it when i fly the mCPx tho, but thats so twitchy you wouldn't notice

[SamS]

Yep, dx6i :/

mine does it too (dx6i) i just treat it as a big gust

this is not normal for a DX6i. I would send it back to HH to get the pots checked out. There was a recall on the DX6i some time ago due to failing pots. My TX was one of those affected and it exhibited similar behaviour to what you are describing but mine was on the rudder. Since getting it back I have not had any problems with jitteryness in phoenix

recalibrate!!!!
