I'm setting up my second spirit on a Goblin 500 and everything seems to be working fine except when I activate the rescue it only puts 3.1 degrees of collective at 60% rescue collective pitch. I changed the rescue collective to 80% and got 4.0 degrees. 100% is 5.3 degrees. My other heli is a Goblin 630 and at 60% it is 8.8 degrees so it appears I'm not getting enough on the goblin 500. I went through the setup twice to make sure all was set correctly. Also I have set 12 degrees pos and neg for the collective pitch. The 500 has a regular Spirit, the 630 has a Spirit Pro. What could I be doing wrong? Thanks for any help

Hi, have you used the bank compare to make sure you have the same pitch /travel limits between the normal and rescue banks?

Hi,

it looks like the basic settings is somehow incorrect.

Please tick the Subtrim (tuning) option in the software and measure, if you are getting 0° between main blades - you can fold blades so that ends are touching. Your blades should be at the same level exactly.
If not, the basic settings are wrong.
So actual center position may be in a different position than it should be.

Dawiev had the correct solution. I didn't have to set the banks up separately on the first Spirit but that but that fixed the problem on this one. Thanks a lot guys, sure is nice to have help with these things. I was sure it was something simple but I was missing it.
