Hi

I reinstall everithing and put a new spirt and anew satelite unit on this Kit

Everithing runs smooth, but rescue is unpredictable.

At first spool up and in hover, I tried and goes OK, after some maneuvers, I put in hover again and recue goes back and left!!!!

I land the heli and tried and swash goes back


Please help

I bought the spirit because of the rescue mode

thanks

Make sure that piro optimization parameter is correctly configured.
If not, then it will cause unpredictable behavior, so it is very important.

FLYING GREAT, RESCUE TOO !!

For improve security in RX matters, and for obvius reasons, what RX do you think is better for this 600L kit?

this one:

or this one but with sattelites for carbon fuse?

Hi, pabloK

I think, these "Carbon Fuselage antennas" don't help much on a 3D Helicopter which does not have a real fuselage.
You would need to proper mount these long antennas to be clear of the chassis.
3D heli is different than a plane, where you want to mount the sats inside and let only the antenna stick out.

If you want a full receiver instead of 2 sats I would take one with SRXL support (X-Plus in Spektrum speach)
This gives you an option for a single-line connection (When Spirit is supporting "X-Plus" in the future)

Security:
If one single cable of a "Standard receiver setup" fails you aren't any better than if the "single-line connection" fails.
In theory 2 Sats may be more secure than a single receiver, but that depends heavily on the interna of the FBL and the used cables.

ZeXx86 may comment about how secure Spirit can handle a 2 Sat setup.

Great info

Now I have a spektrum AR8000 Rx wiyh one sat.

I have the cable for second sat directly to spirit, but i do not know if this is better than a conevntional receiver.

Please, let me know

thanks

Support for X-Plus will be added soon.

pabloK: If you are use conventional receiver, then satellite must be always connected to this receiver. If it is connected to the unit, then it is useless.

I will simplify my question

what do you recomend?

A standard spektrum AR8000 Rx that have one satellite or 2 sattelites direct to the unit spirit (on to the side and one with the adapter cable v2)

If it is the option of the satellites to the spirit, can I use to power the unit the AUX port ? As red and black connected to a 2S lipo and white (signal) connected to the ESC ???


Thanks

I recommend to use classic receiver - this is recommended by Spektrum too.
For small models (450 size) satellite is fine because of weight.

But everybody have different preferences.
If you want to use battery + satellites for powering the unit and servos, you have to unplug red wire from the ESC cable (if your ESC has internal BEC).
