Re: M4 Wobble That Forces Flight to End

thanks Rburrow. You got it. I wasn't plugging the yellow wire in the middle. Part of my confusion was that the HW ESC comes with a standard JST and not a single pin, so I had to cut the connector to plug it in the middle versus yellow right. But it worked well after that.

That didn't seem to solve the issue. I flew it starting out with a 50% throttle curve and could tell it was still too high. Unfortunately, as I was trying to come down the tail blade control arm popped off and I had to come down in a spin.

M4 Wobble That Forces Flight to End

Hi,

I thought I would post this here just in case as well. I have a new to me M4 that I've put together and installed a spirit GT on. It develops what can be described as a flight ending wobble randomly. I have attached a video: https://youtube.com/shorts/P59WYXQuYOI?feature=share

Re: Software 3.2 Version

I seem to have purchased a faulty unit second hand as no amount of plugging, flashing, etc will get this unit to boot up. Thats on me. I am going to trash this unit and get a newer one. Thanks for the assistance!

Software 3.2 Version

Hi,

I have a Spirit GT and a Spirit Pro which I procured second hand. The GT works fine with the current software 3.6 but the Pro says it requires 3.2---Can you send me a link to download 3.2?
