For the last month I have been fighting an issue and I've talked to some people about it, but no solution yet.
Basically, when I powerup the S800 with the transmitter already powered on, the retract legs go partway up, hold, then come back down. If I powerup the S800 first, then turn on the transmitter, the same thing occurs. Basically, it's whenever the two things are both powered on (and I'm guessing, establishing transmitter/receiver link). It does not occur if I have the receive/servo wire removed while I power them both up, then plug in the receiver/servo wire in. Basically that is the only way I can get the retracts to work in flight but not perform this weird on-the-ground-partial-retract.
- I have run the calibration routing probably 20 times in the last month, and it always ends up with a solid green LED indicating successful calibration.
- I have had the failsafe for the channel set on the 8FG, as well as had it turned off, and that made no difference.
- I have erased the transmitter/receiver channel setup, and created a new one, and that didn't help.
Anybody have any ideas of what to try next?
