RE: Programming Futaba 6EX for an Axe 400
Had a really good flight this morning, after letting the bird sit out on the front porch for about half an hour. Then, later on, after an equal amount of time "acclimating", she was doing really well in zero wind conditions, so I starting practicing going from nose out to side in hovering, and about half way into, she started spinning around. No apparent reason. I had zeroed the rudder trim and the trimmed the gyro pot for no drift, and it still had no drift after the incident.
I've had it. I'm afraid to fly it above about two feet altitude because I don't know what it's going to do next. I tried to get through to the Helimax guys at Hobbico yesterday, and all I get is a goddamn tape. I left a message and they haven't called back. If they don't call me by COB today, the whole thing, along with the two batteries I bought for it, is going back to Tower. This thing is poor in my estimation and should be withdrawn from the market until they can figure out how to make a decent gyro.
