Georges,

No, I did not try it without the gyro but I suspect it will be the same. Since it is non head holding it simply enhances or drops output based on rotational input. When the motor is running as I swing the copter right or left the motor speeds up and down so I know the gyro is working.

In any case, I'll just plug in without the gyro and give it a try....at least I can eliminate that variable.

I have a feeling this whole problem has to do with the ESC arming before the DX6 and the transmitter have "hooked up". If I could get the failsafes set where the ESC would initialize at the proper point I think I could lick this one. But....I'm not sure what the proper failsafe would be to bind this rascal at in order to try it ! ! []
