Two issues with my Axe
First, as I have stated, my gyro gain came from the factory turned all the way up - I would like to have some adjustment to play with!
Secondly, this weekend I was hovering and set the heli down, and all of a sudden the blades came up to probably 1/2 speed! I checked to see if I had hit the idle up switch, and it was off - flipping it on did seem to pick up a little bit of speed, but turning it off had no effect, turned the TX off and back on, nothing - the heli just sat there running at a high speed! I had the choice of just waiting until the battery died, or motor burned out, or who knows what. I finally applied some roll to have the blades hit the ground so I could go over and unplug the battery (of course, seems I also now have a small hiccup in the main gear - not bad enough to change out, but I'm getting a spare for when that time comes)
It did not recur again. Should I email HeliMax about these 2 issues? Has anyone else had their Axe go on autopilot? Thank goodness it was on the ground - who knows where it might have ended up!! Also, where is your gain set? (CW is up,CCW is down)
