David Wilson 25 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I got the HK Skyraider for Christmas and am trying to set it up for when the weather finally breaks, but can't seem to get the stabilisation to work. The manual "helpfully" states to use a 2 position switch (using Gear) but nothing happens in either position. Also tried using the AUX 2 channel (3 position) but still no joy. I previously used a ORX receiver with integrated stabilisation which works ok, except I can't turn the stabilisation off... Has anyone any experience with this kind of issue that can offer any advice? I've tried setting trims, travel etc with no joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Is this a standalone stabliser, if so I've got one driven by a Multiplex receiver to switch the gyros on and off I had to allocate a channel to a switch and then have a jumper cable from the gyro (Aux) port on the stabliser to that channel on the receiver.

Denis Watkins Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Start again David with AUX1, the Flap switch Make sure on your monitor that the switch is not INH inhibited, but is ACT activated And up, the arrow moves left On Your Monitor, And down right, On your Monitor, Like flaps would respond Set your FLAPS, In the Flap MENU, Norm up arrow at 100% And LAND down arrow at 100% This switches the stab on and off Don't use a 3 way switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 David It may be obvious but you have set the AUX dip switch to 'on' otherwise the gyro is always off. Only when that dip switch is 'on' do you have on/off control via the 'aux' channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Wilson 25 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 I've checked that all the necessary switches are active. I've also set so that only the gear switch is active, rebinding each time. Everything shows full travel and correct motion on the TX screen, but nothing seems to happen with the plane? With the other Rx, when I move the plane, I get the corresponding opposite motion with the stabiliser. Nothing happens with this one. I'll grab photos and upload.

Denis Watkins Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 You can have too much going on David Most units operate On/Off On Aux That's channel 6 on most And no curves, spurious expo or other bits left on the channel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Wilson 25 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hopefully the pictures above show some of what I've tried to do... The "Gear" switch is the only 2 position switch on the Tx. Inhibit all switches EXCEPT "gear" and ensure the "f mode" servo is plugged into the "gear" port on the Rx. Sounds like that should work, right? Except, nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Your Flap switch is INH and should say ACT The connectors appear to be plugged in sideways, wrongly Your F mode is in AUX 1, switched on by Flap as my post above on the AR610, channel 6 is AUX1 Gear is the wrong channel Use the Flap switch 0 and 1 0 off 1 On Edited By Denis Watkins on 25/02/2020 21:50:05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Wilson 25 Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Success! Needs throttle input before the gyro becomes "live". Though, even with the gyro "off", it still seems to have a little bit of input. Still, I'll have to get wind under her wings now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
