I am having issues with Rescue-Automatic when I activate Throttle Hold while on the ground landing, it pops up off the ground while the motor is spooling down. and it's in bank 1, stabilization normal.
My setup: bank 0, rescue normal, select by channel, bank 1, stabilization normal, bank 2, rescue automatic. Spirit GT, Spektrum DX8G2.
This does not happen when in Bank 0, rescue normal.
Any thoughts?
TIA

Hi

maybe you could upload your Spirit settings file (all 3banks, at least 0 & 1)... would be easiest to take a look on it. is there for sure no mixer or throttle curve etc set in the TX that could cause the issue?
cheers

for me when he pushes the hold button a function is activated, to know if I'm right.
activate the hold button and see that the swashplate it will go high and it shouldn't.
Go to the radio monitor and push the hold button watch the channels move
and after see if those channels are used to activate the function that makes you raise the swashplate.

PS
when to switch ban 0 bank 1 ecc check at desk with helicopter on table that in all modes the swashplate positions is the same in all modes, maybe when you switch bank 0 bank 1 the swashplate lifts up and it shouldn't

Thanks for the reply's, I think I found my issue. I had negative gyro gain set for stabilization flight. :oops:
I have not flown it yet, but on the bench, it's acting normal again.

great that you solved it.
but give it your words I understand that you are activating the function through the gyroscope, we usually use the channel
read the guide

Thanks for the links. This is where things get fuzzy with me, but I do have the Flight Mode switch on my DX8G2 active for switching banks, so the Gyro gain function also is linked to the FM switch, when rescue is needed, it's set for negative gain. So far, it's working great.
Still learning the FBL, but I think it's a great produce, with many features.

Update to my issues. The problem was that the Throttle Hold switch was activating bank 2 whenever it was engaged.
Bank 2 was where I had auto rescue set to, the real reason the Heil popped back up into the air while I was on the landing pad.
The fix was to set the switch (TH) to 50%, on activation, rather than the -100% that it was set to by default.
The Spirit PC Diagnostic tab was very helpful in seeing what was going on.
