[QUOTE="Geena, post: 151359, member: 5936"] I`m baaaaaaaaack! Since last Thursday, I have been out of town, attending OHB 2017 ( Orlando Helicopter Blowout) For the most part, I had a great time. I got to catch up with JC, Jamie, Kyle, Bert, Raquel, and several more friends who I only see at the larger events. Then there was Friday. I had this coming, because I broke two cardinal rules of attending an event. First broken rule: I jacked with a perfectly good flying helicopter. Second broken rule: I did it at an event. Stupid, stupid , stupid. It started out as a simple FBL controller swap on my Gaui Nx7. We removed the Bavarian Demon 3X that was one there, and replaced it with the newer Bavarian Demon Axon. I did it at the request of Bavarian Demon, and also because I wanted to try the Axon`s governor. Setup of the unit was easy, and only took about 15 minutes to do a full setup. Then came time to go fly/tune it. Took it out to the flight line, and spooled it up......governor won`t engage. Take it back to the bench, check the governor settings and go back to the flight line. Governor won`t engage. Go back to the bench. reflash the firmware, do a full fresh setup and go back to the flight line. Governor won`t engage. We decide that the Axon does not like the sensor governor sensor I`m using, and I don`t have another one to try. So...I ask Bert (Bert Kammerer) to bring me a Spartan governor sensor on Saturday morning. Get the new sensor, install and set it up...go to the flight line. Governor won`t engage. Go through the entire setup one more time, and then we see it. Minimum idle values on the diagnostic menu , were not the same as the values on the governor setup menu. -45 on the diagnostic menu and -57 on the governor setup menu. Changed the value on the setup menu to -45, and BAM! Governor works. All that time wasted when I could have been burning some nitro. I did manage to get several pulls on the X7FZ t5hough, so it wasn`t a total loss. But I`ll never EVER take a good flying helicopter apart at an event, no matter what cool new component my sponsors have for me to try. [/QUOTE]
