Thank you for the photos.
I am afraid I can't see GeoLink position - this is module where altitude is measured. Can you take also a photo fo GeoLink mounting?

Mounting position could make big difference, especially if using inside a canopies. There air is flowing very differently when flying faster.

It's not a problem with inprecise messurment of the system, during flight with Altitude Limot on, suddenly the Heli pushes up. The Geolink protokoll show afte landing a negativ altitude. I have uploaded two protokoll in my post above.

Hi Admin, Do you Have any ideal for solving my problem? I bought the Geolink from Spirit Systems together with the Spirit GT a few month ago and have the problem since one of the first Flights.

Hello,

we will prepare special GeoLink firmware for you tomorrow which will hopefully prevent from changing altitude.

Hello,

I verified your logs and settings again and I found your model has no Throttle assigned.
Throttle signal is very helpful for GeoLink because it knows exactly when to reset Altitude - when you are at the ground.

I think in your case it will help if you will assign General - Channels - Throttle to your Throttle signal. Then detection will work properly and your issue should not happen anymore. Can you try this?

Hello,

Throttle is connected to the receiver only, same as my T-Rex heli with no problems.

In this SAB Goblin heli, the ESC is a Hobbywing Platinum 150A V5. This ESC has not only Throttle line but also a second RPM signal line, shall I connect this to the Spirit GT? If yes, to which port?

This is not a problem. It is still better to assign Throttle in the Spirit unit, otherwise Spirit will not know precisely when Throttle is really running.
RPM cable can be disconnected, it is good only when using Spirit Governor.

No, I meant to assign Throttle to Channel 1 only.
