Avant Aurora - EFX - FX > Anyone using a stylus with a freya ccpm or avant?

I have an avant that I just finished and I have a problem with the servos on ccpm. When I pump the collective up and down as fast as possible the swash starts to look like it is getting "hung up" or it dances around. The servos are 9252's. All is fine when I pump collective at a medium speed. I also found that when I charge the battery it is gone but comes back pretty quickly. The battery is a 3000 mah nicad. I suspect that it is the same problem I3DM had with his stylus. You guys that are using this radio with the 92186Z RX with CCPM, what batteries/regulator do you use? thanks

A 4 cell pack won't cut it, get something else.

Gotta love the "that won't work clause" with no explantion to back it up.

This issue has been discussed a lot and since Lior's postings were brought up I didn't feel the need to go into a lengthy dissertation as I felt like the foundation had already been laid. Duralite, Fromeco and probably another dozen other producers of Li-on/regulator combinations have a good handle on this problem. A 4 cell pack won't cut it with all digitals/gyro combination -BECAUSE- of the battery failsafe issue with ATX RX's. The B-Safe threshold is set a little high on the PCM RX's and it won't tolerate any dipping below that threshold. The servos are driven in pairs so there is a healthy current draw on a CCPM machine.

As far as speed matching of the servos, the Stylus is quite capable of making the swash go straight up and down but I have no idea what has been done with the CP-S Delay to match the servo speed.

I'm not sure that what I use for power will please everyone that's reading the mail on this forum anyway but I do know from experience that 4 cells won't do the job.

What is an ATX RX?

Yes, I have already decided to use an arizona regulator with a deans connector and probably their battery too. The servos running in pairs is interesting because when I unplug one of the servos it can go as fast as I can without trouble. I did read Lior's post but it looks like he switched to futaba so I was looking for people who still use this setup without problems. Thanks for your reply TMoore

ATX = airtronics

When you switch from 4 cell packs to regulated 5 cells or regulated Li-on you will notice a nice increase in speed. Before we switched to piezo's that won't tolerate 6 volts I never used 4 cell packs.

So this is an Airtronics problem and not a battery problem.

Not an ATX problem, a power supply problem. The introduction of power hungry digital servos and CCPM has forced battery makers to come up with new solutions.

The new Futaba RX's are power hungry too.

Them be a lot of long words, for we be nothin' but humble pirates here.
I never thought about the battery Fail-safe when I was over there the other day. It nakes sense though. Talk to ya laeter.

So what you are saying is if one were to use a different RX then the 4.8v nicad battery would work fine... this makes it an ATX RX problem and not a battery problem.

If you want the performance and the system response speed of the Stylus you have to power it properly. It's no more a problem than having to run premium gas in certain vehicles versus running regular gas. Digital servos use more current than analog servos typically do, not always but in most cases. Look at some of JKos' posts on the subject and he can tell you that if you want the system speed of the ATX you will have to power it. The Stylus was designed way before digital servos were in vogue. I simply don't see how you can parse what I'm saying as to read that the ATX RX has a problem. If you want to pick nits, the fact is that all the current systems were originally designed to run on 6 volts (4 dry cells) not 4 nicads and this includes the ATX stuff. It's only been in the last few years that some manufacturers were designing their equipment to run on 4.8 volts only.

It is the Fail-safe programing that is specific to ATX.

I did try it with a duralite 4000 and 5.1 regulator and the problem was gone
