I know this might sound like a stupid thing to say, but it almost seems like whatever method your using to level your swash is not good eunf.. It's hard to diagnose unless it's on the bench, Sound more like a mechanical setup issue to me. Could be gyro related..

 

wish that to be the case ,tripod swash level used on all helis. even tried add one turn on elevator to counter act .
Thing is same helis with Ikon's installed basic wizard setup fly fine .

 

Bummer, just a thought, never used a Sk540 ..

 

no a problem Dude
tried several H freaks suggestions ; to no avail : just can't work this sucker out. seams ok in all other aspects (basic beginner flying lol)
just hope the upcoming update may cure it .if not another Ikon May be ordered

 

I had the same problem with a ttgt5 ended up being the flybarless unit put a vbar on it ,problem solved

 

Does the Heli stay in place in a hover or do you need forward cyclic to hold it in place?

 

requires a little forward elevator from take off .Very slow dropping of tail

 

Ok to fix this adjust the subtrim (in the software) of the elevator a little forward till you get a solid hover. Yes the swash may not end up level but this will fix your problem.

 

Did you get this problem sorted out?

 

Sounds a lot like the 3GX backwards drift. I don't have a 540 either, but a common cure for drifting, is to redo your failsafe. If it's different to stick neutral the heli can initialize to the failsafe and then see a different setting on connection to the Tx.

 

will hopefully get a chance during the week

 

turn out to be radio related . setup new model in dx 8 only to find 5 points of trim by default on every axis

pity I crash the heli today trying to fly in to much wind for my ability lol.....

 

No way.... is that in the default setup of the transmitter? I had lots of issues with the dx8 but nothing to do with trim.

 

yep tried a test setup and checked today 5 points also checked other models 2 out of 5 had same ..don't ever remember using trim on any ..

might try another test setup tomorrow to confirm

 

Update to the latest firmware. It's fixed a number of issues

that may have helped also .after update done a hard reset and complete setup with model reset in radio many changes at once to actually know exactly what cured the problem . flew well till I pushed my luck in winds up here (for my ability)
