Joseph Rueck Use the index in the description to jump to the part that has you perplexed. Hit the mute icon to not listen to the music. Click the gear icon and slow down the video to see what I’m doing in the video. My text bubbles also explain what I am doing. Best I can suggest. To create a slow moving, self-narrated video would be insanely long and boring to listen to. You can also contact MikadoUSA support for help either via their website or on Helifreak.com.

Another heli, someone said i need o calibrate the esc even tho im using fixed rpm mode in the castle?? is that true? and i cant do what you did in the video if i have those set can i? right now i have norm set to 30% flat, stunt 1 set to 70% and stunt 3 set to 100%. would i have to just set my throttle curve in normal to do the calibration? then just set back to a flat 30% to fly ? or do i need to change something in the ESC first? Thanks
@HalStaniloff5 жыл бұрын
You still need to tell the ESC the range of the throttle signal that the radio is sending through the throttle channel. That is what the calibration step does. I would set a linear throttle curve just like in the video and perform the calibration steps. The put the ESC in to whatever mode you want.

Sounds like there is something wrong with the Neo. Remember: NEVER plug power in to the Sensor port. You will fry your Neo. Check all power and connections again. If it still acts weird, then contact MikadoUSA Support either online or via telephone and they will be able to help you.
