Start up
 

Hello all,Marry chrismas
I installed the esky3100 motor and the Hobbywing 25amp esc along with a telbeHH gryo. This is the smoothest bird I have onwed so far,But do have a few ??? to ask
The blades dont start to spin untill 1/2 throttle is this normal?
With the HH gyro I have the three wires from the gyro pluggrd into channel 4 and tryed the single yellow wire plugged into shannel 5,but with it plugged in the hh gyro wouldnt hold the tail.So I unplugged the yellow wire and turned the gryo up as far as it will go,Now the tail will hold with a little drift.??????????
I did the programing of the esc with the programming card that you can buy for the hobbying esc.
Thanks All

RE: Start up
 

Most people leave the gyro adjustment wire unplugged because the stock Esky transmitter has very conservative and non-adjustable settings for rate mode and heading hold. Have a look at your tail servo with the heli powered on. Is it slowly drifting in one direction? If so, you can try using your transmitter rudder trim to find a setting at which it doesn't drift. Normally this would be done using subtrims, but the stock transmitter doesn't have that option. As for the rotors not turning until you reach 1/2 throttle, check to see if you have enabled soft start in the ESC program (you want it to be enabled). I suspect that may be a possible cause to the delay in power up of the motor. HTH

I diconnected the yellow wire ,gyro adj, and the tail holds very well now.When I did the programming,I programmed for soft start so I changer to normal start that took care of that.
Thanks for your help
