Good Afternoon

Configuring the Spririt RS as "" rescue ( normal ) "" my helicopter doesn't turn, so that the skids are facing down to earth.
Instead the Goblin stays upside down and is sinking slowly downward...

What did I do wrong ?

transmitter DC 24 Jeti
Spririt RS SW 3.3.1

Thanks
Kind Regards

Hello,

probably Rescue is not activated at all.
Or your basic settings are configured incorrectly.

I recommend to verify if all servo arms are in the middle when you enable Servos/Subtrim (tuning) menu.
At the same time swashplate should be leveled. And also there must be zero pitch between main blades.

Hi ZeXx86

in the setup of the GeoLink there is a check box under "settings" : "POSITION HOLD"
Do I override the SPIRIT RS cfg when checked ?
( this would explane the staying of the helicopter upside down )

In the SPIRIT RS setting there can be set the priority of the sticks ( range 0-16 )
When I want to have at least half of the controls ( i.e. the pitch ) what number should I choose ?
Does " 16 " mean full control ?

Thanks
Kind Regards

Hi,

when Position Hold feature from GeoLink is used, model will remain at the single position. But first you have to enable it. It does not matter if Rescue is enabled or disabled. It will not move in horizontal axis.

If you want to be sure no other function is affecting Rescue, please turn everything else off and retry.

It is possible that you set Acro Delay parameter. If it is not 0, then model will fly like with Rescue (Acro) for period configured in this parameter. Then it will return to skids down when period will pass.

Stick Priority is affecting how much you can control the model (Cyclic) with sticks during rescue maneuver. Default value (6) should be good. Usually pilot should not need to control model at all during rescue. Default value is recommended if you are not sure what is good for you.
