| Does anyone know how to fix this? I have the same issue and didn't see a response.My Swash does the same thing and can't figure out how to fix.

Now I've got another more perplexing problem in trying to setup Optic 6 in my Blade CP. I have a firm understanding of pitch/throttle curves and how to program them. Trouble is, the servos don't exactly seem to be following the curve. This is my first "real" heli radio
I'm just trying to program normal mode right now. I followed the Hitec manual's suggested pitch curve for normal mode. As I advance the collective the pitch goes from approximately 0 degrees to -3 degrees, and then quickly increases above +5degrees. My point is that I do not seem to have the linear curve I have programmed and it really makes for dangerous flight characterstics in normal mode. Why is the collective decreasing for approximately the first half of the stick's travel?
I swear this is not what I have programmed the curve to do.
Anyone?
Thanks, Brett
Here is another one found on HITEC website.

Rookie heli pilot and Hitec user question/problem.
I have a brand new Optic 6 w/o spectra, talking to an Electron 6 on a micro heli with a 120 deg swashplate.
I set up the basics by the book and viola' everything works perfectly.
Then I setup the pitch curve, by the book, to give me a reference. Now the plot thickens... When I increase the throttle/pitch stick from 0 to 1/2 way the swashplate every so slightly moves negative. after the 1/2 way point on the stick the servos reverse direction and go positive. If I leave the pitch curve default, the servos do not reverse.
I have reset and started from scratch several times but I am still getting the same result. Whaat am I missing?
____________________________________________________________-
HERE is the Fix
These are blade pitch settings, not radio point percentage settings. Try these settings to start with. Adjust these 3 points at first until things are working correctly then you can activate points 2 and 4 to fine tune the 1/4 and 3/4 stick settings.
1 0% - -2~3 degrees blade pitch
2 INH
3 50% - 5~6 degrees blade pitch
4 INH
5 100% - 9~10 degrees blade pitch

Thank you,
by setting it the way you suggested, I could see that it worked differently. It turns out the hover/pitch/trim was causing it to go negative. I haven't got to that part of the book yet lol.
When I set it to the middle of the slider everything works as expected.

p.s. love the radio. it replaces my old futaba 4 channel and i can run all my stuff on it without the time consuming setup. |
I actually just modified the EPA for channel 3 vs. the trim. Thanks!
