    Status: offline     		hi i need HELP big time !
    i connected the new 4in1 today and the tailrotor does not want to spin when i turn to right but only to left ??? Why is that ?
    Can some one provide a pic or some info on what needs to go to what on the 4in1 ? It seems the servos can be connected to both connectors but wich is the correct one ?

    the one on the left goes inthe top socket and vice versa - if its right, pushing the cyclic left/right should make the swashplate tilt left/right and pushing the cyclic forward/back should make the swash tilt forward/back. I think

    the lead from the servo behind the main shaft goes in the bottom socket
    the lead from the servo next to the motor shaft goes in the top socket

    Status: offline     		Um. Does it work ok when you throttle up ie does its speed increase when you do so? Does the tail rotor's speed increase when you try to turn left?
    thanks

    IT WOOOOORKS!!!!! AH HAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! IT WOOOOORKS!!!!!!!!!!! (crash of thunder in the background) AH HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

    Whew!!!

    I found the varmint living in my COM1 port!! It was an infrared device that I did not even know was there.
    I just looked all over my computer in and out of all the cubby holes and systems and adapters and all that crap untill I found this infared device hogging my COM1 port and I chose to disable it and low an behold I checked my System Information and the port was not busy anymore. I got excited and launched PPjoycom and cofigured my transmitter again and this time I got the wonderful "Successfully Opened Joystick" AND the awesome "Successfully Opened Port" messages and I got really excited!! I then went to turn on my TX and got the "Reading Serial Stream" message and fell out of my chair!! I then went to calibrate my TX and I got the joysticks centered properly and launched FMS. It completely worked!!!! I was psyhiced!!!

    Now I do have some Q's


    Do I have to waste batteries in my TX to use the sim? It won't work unless i have the batts in. Does that AC adaptor hole in the back work? Has anyone tried it?

    Also, in the sim should I use the trim on the TX ? I feel it kinda cancels out the calibration of the TX if I use them.


    Dang! I actually got it to work!! Yeeha!!


    I want to thank everyone who helped me figure this thing out!!


    Thank you fellas!!!!


    Any questions feel free to ask me!!

    ITS TRAINING TIME!!!!!

    Status: offline     		Crashnet,

    Does the tail rotor spin when you leave the sticks at neutral and stop when you try to go right? Mine stops also, but that is how it is supposed to be I believe. That's just how it turns I think... it quits countering the main blade and lets it spin in that direction.... when turning the other way it should spin twice as fast so it can counterbalance it more and turn. I'm not sure if that made sense.

    Anyway, I have a question, does anyone know the diameter of the tail boom? I found some aluminum rods that are very similar to the CF boom that comes stock, although it comes in 3 different diameters (7/32", 1/2", 9/32" Does anyone know which of these would be the correct diameter for the stock tail boom? I did the math and it adds up to 5.5mm, 6.35mm, or 7.14mm. For some reason I have a feeling that the stock boom is metric, not english measuring system and that this aluminum (very inexpensive) will not work. Thats my luck. Oh well... I'll try it and let everyone know because its very lightweight and looks shiny and awesome.

    Goodluck everyone! By the way, I got my digital camera fixed so now I can upload some pics on an upcoming post of mine.
