HELP!

Unless there is something else, the central brain unit is fried.....
Ink and I ran it through the paces over the phone.....Nothing....

I can take a little happiness in knowing I didnt trust it and put it in the air and have it destroy my heli......

Please anyone....now what do I do, who do I send it to? Throw it in the dumpster? Im feelin that way about now.

Ok, registered and listed the issue...

We'll see how this goes, but.....lots of time and money wasted so far....

New developement....

After waiting this amount of time....(2 hours) I turned on the machine and radio and it responded! Albeit incorrectly, as it did yesterday questionably.?!?!
But after 1-2 minutes will not respond again....
Im going to wait and try to connect it next time after a couple hours..hopefully and immediately try to update the firmware....
Unless anyone else has a better solution.....

I thought the same thing, possible servo binding causing circuit interruption.

Ill try disconnecting one servo at a time, but they worked fine in my previous flybared setup and are basically new.

Its been a little while, and it doesnt connect or turn on...
Ill try again in the morn...

GOt it connected.....for 10 minutes....

I tried to update the firmware, stated I had the latest, I went to factory default then reloaded the factory 600n load.

Swash wasnt moving in the correct direction, so I was looking at that...then disconnect....
Nothing more for now....Try again in the morn....

Ok, It works fine now.....
I did nothing else, and the swash moves in the correct direction, and it didnt shut off after 15 minutes....Its like where I was at last night, im scared to to take it to the field, I might jynx this setup!
Maybe this bird is too good for my field!

I agree, something screwy going on here, best send it in...

Ok, I took it to the field today.
I checked, rechecked and triple checked everything.
The swash moves in the correct direction, it moves correctly when I move the heli from side to side and as it spun up, the tail and everything moves in the correct direction........but it goes nuts when its in the air.....
First time, lucky auto, second time, 3 feet up and straight into the ground.(at least I didnt bend the flybar ) This is single handedly taking the fun out of this hobby.

Thank goodness I have other reliable aircraft to fly so It wasnt a total waste of a day.

On the live screen everything shows up ok, and the swash tried to level back out when I tilt it fore/aft and side to side.
Im not sure, but thats what I thought as well, as when learning thats how a messed up tail gyro would feel, just outta control....
So, im not sure where to go with it now......Ill leave it for a few weeks until I get back....

Maiden flight on my 5003D today was flawless.
And it has so much power! Almost as much as my 6003D.
I'm really impressed with the V-Bar. Makes me wanna get rid of all my flybarred machines.

put it in classic mode its much easier to see what the swash is doing

then tilt heli nose down the swash should move back
then tilt heli nose up the swash should move forward

tilt the heli right the swash should move left
tilt the heli left the swash should move right

if the sensors are setup wrong the heli is really crazy out of control.
