Setup procedure and stick travel
Posted: Fri 03. May 2024 10:05:40
Good morning,
I'm setting up a 400 class helicopter with Spirit2. After the mechanical setup, I moved on to the SW setup.
I have done everything in the manual and in the end I am left with the corners and etc.
However, something happens that I hadn't noticed even with my other helicopters before this one.
In particular it concerns the travel of the sticks vs the travel of the servo controls.
Collective: The collective goes from -12° to +12° which corresponds to the command -100 to +100 (all ok).
Cyclic: The cyclic command goes from -10° to +10° (modifiable as a step) but on the stick it goes from -50 to 0 and from 0 to +50. That is, from -50 to -100 the servos do not move (they do not work under force) and the same thing on the positive side (+51 to +100).
Question: Is this behavior of the cyclic correct?
Did I miss something in the manual?
Thanks for the confirmation
