Default CP Pro Problems

Hey guys,

I am trying to get my CPP back in the air, and I am having some difficulties.

I have the rudder in Channel 4 and the throttle in Channel 3.

When I spool up, the heli is wanting to spin counter clockwise. naturally, I give left rudder, and the main motor slows down, rather than the tail motor. Is my 3 in 1 screwed up?

I have tried adjusting the gain and the proportion, but I cant get enough left rudder in- I dont know whats going on.

Thanks

Are the main and tail motor wires switched?

main motor is in the top of the 3 in 1, and the tail motor is in the bottom.

Thanks

Flyinsolo11,

That's backwards, check page 30 in your manual.. Tail motor in top slot with black lead down, and main motor in bottom slot with black lead up. Has a real nice picture, no reading required.

the 3n1's labeled M1 and M2 I almost did the same thing when I swapped out main frames. I must have lost my mental notes but then I saw the labels and that cleared it up.
