| As you may be aware, with the DX 7, if the transmitter is too close to the receiver, it may not bind. I thought this was the problem at first. But with the tx moved 20 feet from the recv, it still "appeared" not to bind. (To determine a bind, I listen for the ESC tones and look to see if the swash moves, neither of these were happeneing.) Then, after about 10 attempts, I did hear the ESC initialize, but still no swash movement; however, upon investigating further, I noticed I did have rudder control and the gyro was working. Upon investigating further, I saw that although I thought I had no swash control, it would ocassionaly twitch in the correct direction when I move the cyclic. Then, with the throttle hold on, the motor engaged. I let it sit for 5 minutes and all seemed fine again.
I'm sure this does not help. Everything was just goofy. I always think its a bad component, but most of the time it is not. Thanks, Joe... |
