Collective min/max "Negative 100" and "Positive 100" is greyed out in setup

Collective min/max "Negative 100" and "Positive 100" is greyed out in setup
June 10, 2021 07:19AM
I am trying to set up my rebuilt Logo 700. The NEO has been registered and has pro/rescue.

I have been through the setup up dozens of times tonight but can't adjust my collective in setup.

The collective min/max is greyed out and can't be selected. I can't figure out how to change it.

I've attached a picture.

What am I missing?

Also, I was having trouble getting the live throttle control on the touch for programming a new Kosmik 170 HV-I, but somehow I got it working.
It took a while (there are no videos showing programming with the new hardware), but I finally got it stick programmed and showing the "K" on my VBCT screen.

Now I just need to figure out the collective adjustment issue. My pitch is +12/-14 so I need to fix that.

Thanks guys.

Do you move the pitch stick to full positive/negative?

Yes. I move the pitch stick full up and down. No change.

The rudder end point adjustment does work when I move it’s stick however.

Can you pls check the calibration for the pitch stick.

Stephan,

That was it! I wasn’t sure what to adjust at first, but I figured it out quickly.

I reset 0 and now those min/max fields are accessible!

Thanks for responding and helping so quickly!!!

Hopefully I’ll get to test fly it tomorrow.

So, since I had to calibrate the center position of the collective stick, will that have any effect on my previously set up helis?

I have 3 helis already programmed and just want to make sure I have no issues with collective in flight.

Hi Dave,

the calibration of the actual stick has no impact on the model setup _if_ full deflections were reached (100 %).
If you would set up with only 80 % deflection (by accident, mistake, or intentionally), you would have 8° and e.g. +/– 12° at 80 % stick, it's a manual adjustment after all.

So better check Setup, 8° cyclic and your collective angles, all other settings are dependencies, they work within these limits.

Kind regards

Thanks Eddi. I think I'm good, but I'll recheck those just to be sure.

I will say the heli is flying great!
