Hi guys , i have tested my new 500 pro more now wind has stopped and i have 2 very small problems , one is a tail kick when in a hover it acts like the gyro turns off and on again in a second so you get a tail kick, is it a power problem esc is set at 6v i can make it 7v ( its the standard castle 70amp that comes with trex 500 pro )
the second which i think will be easy to sort as you go from forward flight to a stop heli bounces , What gain do you adjust to stop this ?
All setting are as Tony said on the 3gx videos

Hi Tony it`s v5 the tail is strange it just kicks and returns to where it was it only takes a second but it should not do it so need to find out why

The tail kick I have heard a couple times from others running V5.0. And I have no idea what is causing it. And don't have any time to actually test it. I do plan to, just not sure when. If you find a solution, I would greatly appreciate it if you would post your results.

Hi Tony will do , i was thinking am i adjusting the wrong thing are the gain pots one adjustment and the pc another this would be why i cant stop the bounce if it pots that need adjusting i will put back to your set up and try the pots

The two pots on the top of the unit are for aileron and elevator gain, you adjust the rudder gain through your tx and there is other rudder stuff in the software, can't remember the exact titles at the moment

Yeah pretty dyer down here in S Wales, not flown outside this week, due to work and weather, but never mind, weekend looking shocking so I guess I will have to wait and get the 250 out in the hall on Monday night.
