I AM AN EXTREMELY HAPPY BUNNY
Missed my Phoenix tonight as i was at a critical stage with my BEC. Phoenixtech wired up plugged in and a blank no power nothing. Put new connectors on YEP, just plugged it in and went through the set up with the programme card and tried my TX...... i got what i can only describe politely as a hard moment(or wood to my American friends)....everything lit up, bleeped, servos twitched, and controls started to work Spun the motor up and it was sweet
It now proves my theory with the Phoenixtech , i must have weakened one of the capacitors during fitting as the power cables were tight to the frame and bent, this in turn had broken a leg of one capacitor putting full load on the other, then pop
Just the set up of the gyro to follow and first flight imminent
The sounds of everything working got my heart racing and me punching the air with joy and excitment.......i really need to get out more

Phoenixtech i repaired with new capacitors but it is toast I think i have the timing etc right. I watched a Youtube on the set up, the guy had a formula, it may be wrong the way i have done it. What settings do you think i should have in it?
