Helicopter Setup - Long. Cyc. Direction setting not there in latest version of open TX
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2023 7:37 pm
Hi Folks,
I have just made the switch from the Turnigy 9xr to a Taranis X9d+ running the latest open TX. I am setting up a CCPM 120 degree Trex 600 - with Flybar
The heli was flying great, its my old Trex600 ( with Flybar ) that was setup on the 9xr.
After a few initial teething problems, I have the channels re-arranged and the collective moves correct, the rudder is good, aileron movement is fine, but the Elevator movement is reversed - the collective moves absolutely perfectly though and swash is perfectly level as was setup previously
I have tried reversing the pitch servo - this does not work and the collective travels in the wrong direction, Research tells me its an easy fix and I just need to invert the Long. cyc. Direction setting, but its not there on this version of openTX - I have a weight setting, but
Another suggestion was to reverse the weight of that servo - on cyc2 that had the same effect as reversing the servo and the collective traveled in the wrong direction too.
My other option is to confirm which version of the firmware still has this setting and I will just roll back to it if possible.
thank you
