Channel 7 assigned to F:Stabilization Normal.
Value for channel 7 set in TX for 100 to -100 on 2 position switch.

In software I can see swith toggle between Value of 0 and 1 with associated green bar.

On the bench and in flight
Value of 0 is enabling the Stabilization.
Value of 1 is turning it off.

According to the tool tip says 0 is inactive and 1 is active.

I am seeing the exact opposite. No matter channel reversing or values to achieve values of 0 or 1 the result is the same. 0 = parameter active.

Hello,

I guess there will be some other settings that are not ok.
Can you share settings file?

Hello,

I checked your settings and can't see any error.

Are you sure that the stabilisation is enabled with value 0?
You can very easily verify if it works in this way by selecting a Rescue mode in the channels window. If it is at 1, Collective pitch will go up.
Maybe you think that stabilisation is what is normal flying mode and normal flying mode is stabilisation.

You can verify it easily with Rescue instead of Stabilisation

Confirmed that if I set the function to Rescue (Acro), the swash does move up.

However, at a value of 0 the heli flies very smooth and will correct an aileron input back to zero when stick is released. This is what I expect for Stabilization mode.

At Value of 1 it is very sensitive to stick input and does not return to a neutral swash angle. Much more difficult to control.

Please review these videos as to how these settings are working. Value of 0 makes the swash return automatically after tilting. Value of 1 does not.

Maybe I am missing something. Would not be the first time!

Thank You.

Since you assigned "Stabilization" to a channel, you have to use "Selected by Channel" in the Stabi tab >> Function >> Selected by Channel.

I have stabi set to Select by Channel which seems the obvious choice. If this is wrong, what is the purpose of Select by Channel option?

Thank you for your reply.

You are 100% correct. I corrected my reply above to avoid confusion. Thank you for pointing this out.

Have you figured out the solution to the Stabi issue? Since you assigned channel 7 to Stabi, what channel did you assign for Banks?

Have not figured it out. Not using banks.
See the videos posted above to how the swash is reacting to the different values.
