I am doing a quick refurb on a Seehund model before it gets shipped abroad, other than replacing one of the acrylic tubes, I am having an issue with the Shiptronics Control Unit onboard. It failsafes to Pump on/Dive, when the tx is turned off. Is there an adjuster in the unit ( I havn't opened the tube up yet ) allowing me to set the failsafe function, if it has one, to Blow?
-
What sort of receiver are you using in the module?
-
Fleet Rx with a Robbe FX series Tx.

Okay, well the receiver won't have any failsafes built in then which could countermand the onboard unit. There is an adjustment on the unit, but I can't recall what it's for, but will check later when I have the unit in front of me, unless someone else can elaborate in the meantime.

Many thanks :-))

The potentiometer under the green tape will precisely trim the air release position for the servo.
Under the cover there should be a link to cut/resolder to switch the servo's dive direction.
Why you may ask?
Because there are two directions a servo can take when fed with the same command.All Hitec servos turn clockwise on longer pulses.The original servo must have turned the opposite way.

A speedy response from Mike at Microgyros, and a phone call explaining it all, what more could you ask.
Thanks to both of you for the help :-))
