Micro Bade 120 SR Setup

[bigone5500]

Well I updated airware and I see they still haven't fixed the incorrect battery info. Airware says I have 20% remaining but in reality I have 96%. I will probably try the heli tomorrow. Getting tired. Been a long day.

Understood, and know the feeling lol.

Well just as I was about to turn off the Tx, I see the battery indicator jumped up to 65%. ??? This thing is a bald face liar...LOL!

Finally! I got it off the ground for about a minute. I'm inside my house so I can't do much but I got it off the ground in a wild hover. I'll need to setup a little expo as 0 makes inputs very jerky. With the rain and all right now outside flight isn't going to happen. But at this point I'm happy with it.

Awesome

Here is a video of what is happening.

 

[James M. Lewis]

It's got to be the tail motor. Can you switch the wire leads? Believe that might help

 

[bigone5500]

No. It sorta hovered the day before. I think it's the control board. This heli will see the bottom of a trash can.

 

[James M. Lewis]

Can you get a replacement board?

Hello bigone5500 just wondering here ,, in your setup do you have your tx setup to first bind as Heli or acro..under model Type. I was watching your video there and decided to go see if I could find a setup manual to see if I might see something here

 

[bigone5500]

Acro

 

[Rackman]

ok .. well still scratching my head here as well to see if I can think of something that would or might help ..

 

[Rackman]

have you tried to reverse your Rudder in your transmitter to see if that might make your tail motor rotate in the other direction after Re initializing your heli ..? just a thought

Even try setting up a new model in your TX.

 

[bigone5500]

The model I am using in the Tx is the same I used the day earlier and hovered the heli. Reversing the rudder has no effect either.

A new 5 in 1 board is about $60 so this heli will be retired.

 

[Rackman]

oh ok .. I understand ..I have had to retire several myself ..lol

 

[James M. Lewis]

It's a shame the way prices are forever increasing even in our Hobby. Real sad indeed.

 

[bigone5500]

This was a free helicopter along with a bunch of other stuff. Sometimes old stuff just isn't worth messing with.

However, it could be a great donor.

 

[Tony]

Yea, I'm kind of leaning towards what James stated. It's almost like the tail motor is not spinning fast enough. Shame to see it go in the bin.

When I had a Blade SR, had a similar problem and dump money in a losing cause. After that got away from their 2 in 1 board and tail motors. Tony's web site convince me to change. Now all my birds are either belt or torque driven. and none are E Flite helicopters. They're clones but use only quality parts that have a good rating and reputation.

 

[D.O.G.]

I'm a belt drive flyer because it's more forgiving than a torque drive.
