RC India

Hi friends

I have created this thread to showcase the steps those i gone though, the challenges i faces and how i deal with them.

Hoping that this will help someone and reduce the time, energy and material while working on their TirCopter.

Will keep updating this as and when i get time and complete the whole story.

Here are some videos from today's flight.

I started this project in May 2012.

I put everything together and hope that it would fly like all other videos on you tube... and it was total disappointment.

Tri wan not responding to TX and just giving beep.

I post my problem here on RCI and Spitfire came to rescue me

There were 2 problems

1) I was not arming the FC board

just in case you dont know (like me ) Arming board is procedure that you do by holding rudder left/right  to achivate the FC board

Unless you do this FC board will not respond to any TX command.

2) Min throttle was not set.

To set min throttle trim throttle few points (i.e. 3 points) and check if FC response to throttle command.

Make sure your board is armed before setting min throttle.


 

Next thing i observed that my ruder does not work.

Spitfire  again extended his help and explain me that ruder works in proportion of throttle.

So, if throttle is 0 then ruder will not work

Nice Building instructino Atul,  Thanks for your time and effort.
