Ok, I have shifted the download files on http://fbl.net.nz to rapidshare for the time being.They should be available again, I will find a more permanent home for them soon.

If running a positive range in the gyro would make you feel better, you can reverse the PIT (channel 6) in your transmitter. Same effect. But no need to, as that is what all the + - settings are for. Remember the transmitter is in 90 degree mode so pit is actually pitch, not one of the cppm servos.

Terry

thanks for that,and to all the others that responded and gave me a bit more confidence in my set up. I tried reversing the pitch at the beginning of the setup but i changed it back as the software notes seemed to push you towards getting the movement sense in the right direction at the first stage. I don,t mind it being negative now i know it dosent matter
Thanks for your help

On the setup tab "Tail Setup", start off by setting the limit A and B to say 40. You then have to hold the rudder stick full left or right and find out which limit slider has an effect on the position. Then repeat with the rudder stick full the opposite way and adjust the other slider.

Had a question about non-mixing CCPM mode. I have a FlySky CT6B. Do I need to select Model Type - Heli 90 to get to the non-mixing CCPM mode? Also, I am building a FBL Esky Belt CPX and the swash plate is 120 CCPM but the elevator is in the front as opposed to the back as pictured in the manual, with this be an issue, i.e. have to swap channel1 and channel2? Thanks for all your help and keep up the fine work.

Yes, Heli 90 sounds like the correct setting.

The reverse swashplate in no problem. I'd start by swapping ch1 and ch2. At the end of the day it will only affect the setup options (what you have to reverse). As long as everything at the end moves and tilts in the right direction it will fly fine.

Yep, that fixed it. Thanks.

Might be worth mentioning it in the first post.

John...

The tarot original software would save the agility settings and mode (3d extreme or beginner or whatever) for me at all.

Is that something you fixed in your software . ?

Anyone else had that problem?

All the other settings except in the monitoring screen will always be what they should be when first hooked up to new FBL program.

I cannot replicate this.
If I load the program and check the advanced menu the RC Deadband values
are both 0.
I then cancel the window, connect to the gyro and go back into the advanced
menu and both the RC deadband values are 10 as stored in my gyro.
I don't see 60 and 40 at all.
Let me know if you have steps that will replicate the fault.

This will be something to do with the gyro or TX. The values on the monitor
page are purely what the gyro sends the program.

This is the only gyro that has a -5 setting and the only one that will do this. This is with version 1.10. On version 1.09 it showed 251 in ini. file and -5 in box on advance menu. All the other saved ini. files for other gyros show the correct information and will display the correct information when open back up.

Otherwise everything is working great.

I hadn't noticed that the compensate values could be negative. I have fixed this and added some extra bound checking for all the advanced parameters.

@John_NZ - was using the latest software (as i havn't used it for a little while) and noticed the following setup screen is not in it - Yet I think I remember using it as i only have the copterx version and not the tarot.. But it seems it's no longer in your software..

Was it removed or am i imagining things - lol

PS: It's a fantastic feature - any chance it can be added to your software.. i know it may be a hard ask but it's probably the single most impressive feature of the tarot version - and the idea probable came from the vbar software. I am of course referring the othe arrowed setup option on the right of the display..

anyway - if there's any way this can be added - that would be fantastic as it allows everything to be setup and tuned in one hit..

-------
Update: I just discovered it was in this version of software "CX3X_2.1_EN.exe" - was that your early version of it or someone else's ?

The default one servo heli model in the JR will have the pitch trim lever enabled by default - and you may want to inhibit it in the system setup menu of the TX.

I found my servo trim was out, and traced it to my not inhibiting the trim lever, and the lever not being all the way down.

can I use http://shop.fyetech.com/product_info...4079e110487c5f with your software?
