RE: falcon won't reach max power
Hello binsonc:
You did not say, but hve you changed Tx and or Rx from the last time you flew it until now?
Please review your Tx throttle settings to insure there is no throttle curve established, all end points are at 100% (default) . Re train the Tx doing exactly as the HDT screen tells you. Make sure you are setting the throttle trim at "trim high" (all the way up and "trim low" (all the way down) and complete the three steps. Once done, turn off then back on. Menu up to the second screen. Upper right show pulse and %. With trim low and low stick, you should have -0- % . At idle, + or - 28% and with trim high and high stick, 100%
Please check. If you do not have these readings, check again, to insure the throttle channel is set at default.
Also, it is possible the fuel pump may be at fault. What is the serial number of your Falcon. . .how many hours on the turbine.
Feel free to call me M - F 8:30am thru 6:00pm
Regards,
Eric
