Hello,

After installation Spirit Pro on my TREX 500 / TX Futaba T8FG / Rx Futaba R617FS , when I check "channels" with Spirit Settings v2.4.3 on my computer , the screen is different with your of Spirit System Manual !
Indicator of Throttle is green on a half and i have "unassigned" for channel ?
Indicator of Pitch is green on 1/4 ?
Is this normal ?

Regards

Many thanks for your product and Happy New Year 2018

Hello,

you are using PWM connection which needs little bit more adjustments in the radio.
You may need to modify Travel Adjust to obtain +/- 100% on all channels.

Is the Pitch channel moving when you are moving with Pitch stick?

Throttle is unassigned, because it is not transffered by the cables. So only receiver is seeing the value. Unit does not care about throttle with PWM connection since the ESC is connected to the receiver.

Happy New Year too!

Thank you!

Please check in your radio that the pitch channel is going all the way from -100 to 100%. There could be some curve configured in.
The easiest way to verify it is to check SERVO menu in the radio. Then move with the Pitch stick.

Also note, that each power up, the unit is detecting centering signal. If aileron, elevator or rudder sticks are not in the center, then the center will be off for the pitch channel.
But still there is issue with the small range, so I think that it is all caused by some pitch curve in the radio.

Hi,

OK
I change the configuration in my FUTABA / Model TYPE / SWASH H-1 and not SWASH HR3
Now on "SERVO" I have : 100% and -100% for pitch stick :D

I continue my set up

Many Thanks ;)

Hi,

last thing before to fly

after all settings on my Futaba T8FG like your "set up guide for Futaba"

On diagnostic :
Giro / normal condition 68%
Giro / SH button ON / 63% ("Rescue" appears)
Is it the right setting ? why not 60% and -60% for rescue ?

Regards
