General Blade400 3D Heli servo's, linkage & motor not moving enough

[Tonester]

- Helicopter built from scratch.
- Have a DX6i Transmitter & E-Flite Blade400 3D Helicopter.
- Both batteries on helicopter and batteries in transmitter are fully charged and all linkages are all calibrated to right lengths.
- Problem is when turning on the transmitter and finished binding the two ALL servo’s and linkages barley move.
- Motor not turning but o.k.
- Any idea what could be the problem or anyone have and suggestions to try…I’m kinda new at this RC Heli stuff????

one Every control? or just pitch control? .... what about rudder, aileron and elevator (Cyclic controls)?

If it is just pitch that is not moving much then your Swash pitch % is too low .... same for Cyclic controls.... but if your rudder is also not moving much ..... that is a different story entirely.

make sure you have set up a fresh model in heli mode and you have zeroed all your trims and sub trims and have all your limits at 100%.

see if you get any response then.

When doing ALL pitches % is it better to BIND transmitter and receiver first and leave them both on together when doing All pitch angels %..?

ThanX - Tonester

not to sure what you mean? ..... when you move your rudder .... does it get full travel?

this is the only control channel that is not mixed (apart from channel 5 (or gear) when using gyro setup).

if you are getting full travel with your Rudder, then you need to go into your swash and increase the % on AIL and ELE and PITCH to achieve your desired travel and pitch movement

I have to agree with westy.
Your % MUST to low. Bring them to 50% and see what happens

those Tx's do not have any adjustments at all as far as I can tell, just dip switches
