RE: help with set up on G2
Hi b2woconnell,
The G2 was my first CCPM as well but I started on a co-ax. This is NOT a good heli to "learn" on. Anyway, that being said I just want to reiterate the points Andy made. You have to do these things in specific order
Turn on the TX w/ throttle all the way down (wait for TX to turn purple)
plug the charged battery to the heli and wait for gyro light to stay solid
press the red switch for a second or two until the red light comes on
slowly adjust the throttle up
If you don't do everything in this order the main rotors will not turn (even though the other servo's will still move the swash plate and tail). Also, if the throttle is on (up) beyond 50% when you initialize the gyro, the ESC will not set and the rotor won't turn
Hope that helps some...
