Re: Gaui X3 Correct when the arm is 90 the blades are pitched about 3 degrees to compensate, yes the fbl takes care of this. I am sure you will do way better now. Let us know. |

Re: Gaui X3 After watching a few videos I realized my blade grips needed to be rotated so the leading edge of the tail blades moved in the correct direction. I also got the governor running properly. Next step is maiden 2. |

Re: Gaui X3 Your tail blades are hacked up, that will cause the tail to bob up and down due to improper balance. Use plastic way more forgiving until you have her tuned correctly. |

Re: Gaui X3 Ok, I see your problem, you have the servo at 90 but the tail is not. You must shorten the tail control rod so both are at 90, then go back into the Ikon software and just go threw it til you get to the tail setup. Redo your adjustment to the endpoints so there is no binding. The Ikon will use the correct amount of off set. Just make sure your tail goes the correct direction and the rebound is correct. It sounds like it all is except for the recentering and the endpoint adjustment. |

Re: Gaui X3 I took a look at the instructions and the servo arm needs to be vertical and the tail linkage needs to be at 90 degrees. Attached are pics of my mechanical setup. When the tail linkage is at 90 degrees the slider is not at the center. Is is more important for the slider to be in the middle? I am not sure why it is flipping the pics sideways. |

Re: Gaui X3 Hey Jimmy, I am thinking it may be a mechanical setup issue. I will double check that the tail servo arm is at 90 degrees and the tail slider arm is at 90. Other than that the gyro is compensating in the correct direction and the slider is moving in the correct direction depending on the tail stick movement. After I go through it I will make a video and post it. |

Re: Gaui X3 Hello Rick, sounds like your tail servo was not correctly centered. Go threw the tail setup again, set the end points over and make sure the rebound is in the correct direction. Let me know if this helps. |

Re: Gaui X3 Way over due but I finally maidened my x3. I set the heli down tail in and while spooling up the tail started moving to the right. I moved the tail blades so they were at lined up at zero pitch and spooled it up again. The tail was steady but it did not seem to be responded my to my stick movements so I thought maybe I reversed the tail servo during setup. When I got home I rechecked my setup. With the tail in if I move the left transmitter stick to the right the tail pitch slider moves to the left. If I move the tail end of the heli to the right the gyro moves the slider to the left. Is this not correct? Is anyone experiencing any issues using the torque tube? These are the components I am using: ZEAL Carbon Fiber Tail Blades 62mm ZEAL Energy Carbon Fiber Main Blades 360mm torque tube HS - 2750, 2850, 2950 using Ikon governor tail gain 40 6 cell |
