Maiden flight Rescue caused crash
Posted: Sat 11. Apr 2015 2:46:58
Trex 550 DFC Spektrum Sats Hobbywing 100A ESC DS615 servos.
New build. The Spirt was used on a 450 with no problems.
Rescue is set to acro. I bench tested and it worked fine. Even turned it inverted and it worked correct.
Checked Piro Op. Ran the BEC test several times. Even added a capacitor (not connected during test)
First flight everything was working great until I got a little far out and wasn't sure of the orientation.
So I hit rescue just to level it. As it was out a ways I couldn't see exactly what happened.
But I could see that the tail was pointed about 30 deg up not level and it went down instead of up.
By the time my brain processed what was happening it was all over.
The only thing I can think of is when bench testing rescue I found it needed to be reversed.
I didn't recheck Piro Op after that. Would that change?
