T-rex 450 SE V2

[brian94066]

raise the "throttle" servo speed to about 3 or 4 seconds

and with throttle hold on and Idle 2, turn hold off and it should softly start

I seem to have dowloaded a ghost along with the TREX450 model.

I've imported both the base model and the stock variant.

When I try to use it, it bounces around like there's an earthquake, and tips over pretty quick. This is in normal mode. I can get in the air with it by switching to idl1 or 2 with full down stick, in which case it's spinning at full power with full down pitch on the tarmac, and that pins it down until I pitch up and take off. It's still jiggling around, though, trying to start bouncing.

In the air it flies great. Only goes bananas when it gets within a few inches of the ground. Man, that's some turbulent ground-effect!

If I didn't know better, I'd say it's modeling ground resonance. The only problem is there's no thrust -- the rotor's not spinning.

Here's a recording I made of the Ghost in the Machine, check it out. I'd appreciate any clues on how to fix this... I really need to put in major sim time on my 450 before I crash it... again

If you're using G4.5 then yes that is a known problem.

New and improved version for 4.5 on it's way, stay tuned.

Thanks!

Quite an interesting bug, eh?

Some of Ya'll that are not able to get it to work, you MUST have the Idle-Up off before you spawn, or else it will shake itself apart. Ask me how I know that!

Wow that has to be one of the latest responses to a bug ever. The last post was in 2008!

LOL I know
