I did that mistake once.

Hello - thanks for the response

Yes - I did do the rc wizard and also set the cruise throttle at the same time

When the RTH function was started, the throttle went to the required setting -- it was just the sharp right turn that was the problem


Thanks

Best,

The two blades of my folding prop have exactly the same weight on the balance. So are balanced. In all RPM low or high the vibration in flight are at full scale.

Yes i do the RC wizard. For Level Flight I give cruise throttle.

I think the problem is caused by RVOSD contact with other elements inside Zephyr bay. I think this amplifies the vibrations. Do not believe ?

Why dont you hold down the plane, give it full throttle and put your finger onto the RVOSD unit and feel for vibrations?

On the ground vibrations are a little less at low values but at full throttle they always reach full scale.

Yes, it is possible you are at a point in the Zephyr cavity that's at resonance, thus actually amplifying the vibration amplitude. You can try moving to a different location, try a different dampening material or some have had luck with weighing down or compressing the RVOSD. Hope you sort it out soon.

I think there are/were 2 questions going on at the same time here
I was asking about the problem with my RVOSD always wanting to go right and up everytime I engage RTH

Anything I might be able to do?

I think the video below can tell more than 1000 words.

You can see three Level Flight test, one vibration test in flight and one on the ground.

Sorry for quality.. I uploaded the video in the shortest possible time..

Your AHI is not well calibrated. Set properly neutral AHI procedure on the ground with motor off.

Wow, I've seen the vibration graphs so maxed out (0:50).

I set AHI neutral first time on the ground and second time in air but nothing change in Level Flight...

Do you saw the vibrations ? ... they are a lot. I think this is the problem.

Though I set neutral AHI with high vibration I suppose that AHI drift right or left..

Set cruise and glide throttle to idle and set again neutral AHI on the ground with motor off.
Remember to save configuration.
Then, try again the level flight mode at high altitude. Now you can eliminate (or not) the vibration variable.

I just try to set neutral AHI on the ground with motor off but when I go in flight.. however with controlled flight or autopilot... the AHI drift left or right.

You can see in the video..

Is there anyway the RVOSD could be shifting position once in flight? Your vibration is quite high on X and Z axis. You can concentrate there. El Cheapo would have to weigh in on your vib levels being capable of over driving the rest of the electronics.

If the vibrations are upsetting the IMU, when the motor is stopped the AHI settles down by itself after a short time. Have you tried getting up some altitude and letting the plane glide for a minute or 2? The AHI should correct itself if the vibes are the cause of the problem.

You mean that RVOSD it's not fixed properly inside the plane and it moves once in flight ?

No but I will try. thanks for the advice
