...This seemed close, but because subtrim was adjusted so far to get it stopped at mid-stick it seemed the RVU (throttle to rudder mixing), had to be adusted to the max in order to even be close.
So, closer but still not there yet. The power switch to the ESC may be the ticket here.
Keep the suggestions coming. I can't be the only one who has made this change !
since you're using a rate gyro you will in fact have to use revo mixing (throttle to rudder) to keep the tail straight; no way around that.
it's also possible the switch won't be necessary. however since you're unsure how you got it to work, it may be hard to repeat. a switch would guarantee good repeatable initializations. make sure to ask the techs for a lightweight switch. you don't need a high current switch, because the switch can be installed on the positive (red) servo wire of the esc (low current, as opposed to the esc battery wires).
btw, sorry you have to work today. they should give you holiday pay for being american.?[&o]
