This has been going on for months now (and has caused 3 crashes).
It flys fine then powers off for a split second, then all the servos seem to go to random places before everything goes back to normal. all this happens in less than half a second, but that's plenty long enough for it to get into a situation that my noob brain can't save it from.
I thought it was interference so I replaced the ferrite ring on the esc signal cable, then I tried coating the tail belt with 2B pencil lead in case it was causing static buildup but it's still glitching. tried putting the RX aerial in fuel hose where ever it may be touching carbon fiber, Still no joy
This happens any time ( I can't MAKE it glitch, It doesn't seem to matter if it's just hovering or if I test the climb out over and over again )
I'm Wondering if I may be trying to drag to much juice threw the esc and its spitting out its dummy ?
Here is a list of the hardware I'm using ( Don't giggle at it, it was all I could afford at the time)
RX = Futaba R136F. its a boggo basic ppm Receiver.
ESC =Align RCE BL25G.
Motor =Align 430l 3550kv. I've got the 13t pinion on it
Gyro = Futaba G190, this is just a low spec rates only gyro.
Cyclic servos = hi-tec HS 55's.
Tail servo = hi-tec HS 56 HB.
li-poly = dualsky 1800mAh 20c / align 1800 or 1900mAh.
blades = SAB 305mm.
I think the first step may be to replace the ESC with the 35a version, but as that will cost around 50 quid I'd prefer to know what you all think first.
