Default RE: Programming Futaba 6EX for an Axe 400

Dick:

I finally found the trimmer pot. Way over on the left side of the bird, under the label like you said.

I've been unable to trim out any drift, so went through the whole gyro setup process again. I set gyro A to +45 and gyro B to -45 as per the HM4000 instruction sheet, and centered the gain pot on the gyro.

Then, I had no drift with HH off, but drifting with it turned back on. (After initialization.) I switched back and forth between on and off, tweaking the pot, and now there's no drift in HH on.

I think maybe this will be it. Except for the slight drift in HH, the bird is flying great. I'm beginning to learn the controls and can stay (mostly) over one spot now, nose out.

Thanks for the help,
Bob
