Hi guys
Sorry if this has been posted before but have just bought the add on for AFPD and have problems with the Adrenaline 120 diving at middle stick. My trannie trims are central and ALL other models fly level. Anyone else got the same problem?
What's the best cure?
regards piroflip

Hi,
if the Adrenaline dives when you have your controls in neutal position and also trimmed neutrally, you may try the following:
- re-callibrate the input device
- trim elevator stick up a bit
In general the Adrenaline flies level only on full throttle. With less it may dive a litte bit. This is to make it more pleasant to fly it inverted.

hmm... my real YT adrenaline 120 with a saito never did that...
i spent a bit of time messing with the CG and thrust angles so that it flew straight and level no matter how fast or how much throttle it had. The symptoms you describe sound to me like its not got enough down thrust.

thanks but it can't be a calibration problem,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ALL other models fly straight.
the diving is too steep to be a c of g or thrust problem.
I have NEVER heared of a model being trimmed to fly level only at full throttle before.
Afterall the real Adrenaline would normally only be flown at full bore in vertical.
My clubmate's (real one) flies very well upright or inverted.
My sim model dives very steeply at any throttle setting.
