Just a bit puzzled... I Decided to give the hoverflyPro a shoot, but im sad to say this system has a couple Querks and maybe some Jerks... lol... Ok so I recieved my hover fly pro two weeks ago brand new from Hoverfly installed this thing on my CS8, and guess what it took a bit of fiddling with the firmware and setup just to get the thing to talk to the software. Well I guess theres always a learning curve im thinking to myself, so off I go calibrating and reconnecting all through the night to the wee hours and thinking to myself this thing better fly good lol. And keep in mind I just need the thing to fly if I wanted all the bells and whistles well there are crazier systems out there but I heard good things, and a few bad but I figure what the hell its only Half a thousand Dollars. :dejection:
So I get this thing all ready to fly tune it all up motors KW8, ESCs Turnigy Plush, Futaba Radio 8fg, hoverfly distro wiring harness everything done, go to lift it off and Guess what.... THERE IS NO RUDDDDDDEEEEERRRRR!!!!!!
So I go back to my setup menu and double check that my rudder is working perfectly, and it is, I get a second oppnion and im off to the races again. What do you think happen next well if you take peanut butter and apply on bread you get the hoverfly... BUT NO RUDDER!
Now im worried I know I can fly but Damn No rudder that cant be good. Luckily my buddy was there to coach me through the oddness of a flying multi with no Tail LMAO... Awe man, I was ****ting bricks at that point. I kept picturing my multirotor flying off into the sunset.
Anyways, I know you guys out there have been flying this thing a bit... have you ever heard of a hoverfly without a tail??
So im thinking to myself its got to be something I did, so what do I do pull everything apart recheck all calibrations reload firmware, reflash firmware, check wiring harness, check motor direction, check motor angle, check prop balance, check hoverfly screw tightness to the board, check 8fg configuration check motor calibration, check reverese, check everything including where i plug the rudder from my reciever into my board. My transmitter is frequency is set to MLT2, and im not running sbus so you can rule that one out.
The guy at hoverfly seems good, but the ticket thing might take awhile so I wanted to ask around see if anyone was filming without a tail.....
Help appreciated greatly.
