I installed the AR6100 receiver to fly with my DX7. Servo reversing is set for Aile, Elev and Rudd. However, when I do my pre-flight right stick is great, swash moves as it should. Throttle is a little wierd. The manual says that when I give throttle the entire swashplate should go down nice and level and when I decrease throttle the swashplate should go up nice and level.

What I get is full throttle the swashplate leans all the way back and throttle off it is level.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

What you might have is the two rear servos move more than the elevator servo. I think I had the same thing happen when I did that setup. Just adjust the travel adjustments for rear servos so they don't go down as far. Are you doing this in throttle up mode? Did you take the servo horns off then turn on and off the transmitter? Then put the horns back on close to 90 degrees? Then did you use subtrims to make it perfectly 90 degrees to the servo?

been playing with every configuration possible of connecting servos to the receiver and setting the transmitter reverse switches. nothing works. Closest I have come is everything as it should be except right stick reversed for forward and backwards. I am very frustrated. I did try to center my servo horns, but must admit I am at a loss for how to get the left rear horn off as it is inaccessible to a screw driver. Thank you for your reply.

I am setting everything up in normal mode. Been following these directions:

I will try your suggestion about servo travel as well.
Thanks,

Did you go into the swash mix menu and change the elevator setting. I think it is from factory at +60%. Just make that a -60% or vise versa if it is already negative.

Funny thing. That's exactly what I did late last night. Changed swash plate mix from positive to negative and BINGO, everything is moving as it should. Just took it up for my first test hover and she went up nice and smooth but she's drifting a bit, a little tail wag as well. Now its time to fool with the Gyro and proportional pot settings and finally trims. Does that sound right to you?

Anyway it was great to log on and find the solution to my problem posted even though I found it too late. THANK YOU!!!

hey ambravo,
to get that servo horn off you will have to remove the forward servo. just slowly pry it out of there with a screwdriver. it is held in place with double sticky tape. The tape should still be good after you pry it out so just press it back in firmly after you make your adjustments.

Your welcome. Which way is it drifting? It is normal to adjust the gyro and proportional potentiometer. Once you have the proportional pot set you won't have to change it, then once it starts rotating in a direction then you know it is time for a new tail motor. I would have put it up sooner but I am slow at posting things. The flying characteristics are so much better with the DX7 and AR6100.

Thank you, will do.

Thank you. She's drifting back and left. Managed to trim her out pretty well and now dealing with the nose drift. Should have her flying well very soon. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to sharpen my skills on the sim. I'm in no hurry, I'm enjoying all the things I'm learning while setting her up.
Talk to you soon,
Angel

You are doing the right thing by taking it slow. Bad things happen when people try to hurry the process up with the CP Pro.
