Rescue question?

[John tan]

Cyclic ring looks low at 5 degrees, what heli is it?
Don't think that would affect a rescue climb though? Try increasing this to 9-10 degrees, make sure the servos are not binding at max/min pitch as you adjust it.

Noted

Also, in a skids down hover, hit rescue. Does it climb?

It does climb and climbs well.

Stabi -> Rescue collective pitch 47% (0% <-> -10%)

Not sure what happened here. I will check again this weekend then take it out for another flight.

Servo Travel Correction
Servo Travel Correction -> Pitch (CH1) -> Maximum 14 (-64 <-> 64)
Servo Travel Correction -> Elevator (CH2) -> Maximum 4 (-64 <-> 64)
Servo Travel Correction -> Aileron (CH3) -> Maximum 2 (-64 <-> 64)
Servo Travel Correction -> Pitch (CH1) -> Minimum -5 (64 <-> -64)
Servo Travel Correction -> Elevator (CH2) -> Minimum -30 (64 <-> -64)
Servo Travel Correction -> Aileron (CH3) -> Minimum -5 (64 <-> -64)

Can you get these to closer to zero by adjusting the link lengths with a swash leveller, are they required? That's quite a lot of correction.

Will check these again

If its climbing fast in a skids down rescue, then I think increasing cyclic ring will help.
I think this is used to control cyclic roll rate.
If its too low it will take longer to rotate 180° before climbing. If this takes 1 second then that fits with your symptoms. Set to 10°, check for binding and go test it.

Also check 6° setting is correct.

Just made some changes based on some of the above recommendations. Here's the revised .4ds file

And the rescue collective pitch is indeed @ 80% this time

So is this still an issue? Is it flipping over faster now?

What happens if you increase acro delay to 3 seconds?

Haven't flown it yet. Will do so this Sunday and keep you updated.

Just flew my heli today and all is good. Rescue now works as it should

Thanks everybody for all your help esp jjuk
