I can't find the original thread so well just start here.
As mentioned before my aileron servo did a flip. That is to say it started to move in the opposite direction then it was suppose to.. It went from a +70 to -70 (swash settings) and I have to reverse the servo to get it back the way it was.
As I was playing with the numbers in the TX, I also switched around the cyclic servo plugs. Just to check the servo operation in a different plug locations. Their all fine except I noticed the aileron servo would sometimes continue to move after I stop moving the sticks.. Sometimes it would continue going a little in the same direction and sometimes it would move back the other way a little... remember, this is the same servo that did the flip... That explains the crummy hovering capability.
I thought while I have a never used identical AR8000 RX,, I'd would switch it out with the original. Again just to see what happens. I rebound it and it worked exactly the same way, the problem remained.
OK, here it comes!
I was trying different settings with the TX when I noticed no combo of settings would make the servo work right except the one mentioned above. So I set it back the way it was. Oh man! that didn't work either.. All the servos were still going the wrong way... I checked it and checked it again. It seems like what ever I try to set with the TX, it's not getting to the RX properly.
Any whoooo,,, I put the original RX back in and rebound it again. I plugged in the servos again and again the servos were moving all wrong. What dah heck is this?! Time to go to bed and think it through...
Ok it's tomorrow and guess what??
I turn on the TX and check the settings. The setting are the same. (aileron reversed -70 swash = backwards)… All the servos are now working right! I didn't do nothing, just turn on the TX/RX...
Ok guys, what do you think? I'd love your input on this very interesting problem...
Here's what I think.....
I'll bet I have two problems. First, I have a bad aileron servo, (drifting)…
Next I have a major software issue with the TX... To have a servo all by it's self switch direction really freaks me out.
I informed Horizon and they said to send it in for inspection. I was hoping I wouldn't have to send the TX back but I think I have no choice at this point.
Thanks guys!
