      That raises another question for me is it better to run the ikon gov from a Telemetry unit..or just a rpm sensor...I just ordered the hobby king sensor.. I dont trust hobby king but everyone's saying it works good.
      thank you again for all the help radar

      Yep sensor is the best and the hobby wing is one of the best Lol! I am using the hobby wing with a Hawk until my Castle comes back. CC is the best for the iKon gov set up as you don't need to rev up the Heli on the bench.

      Here's a tough one...

      Where can I send back a used Brain V1 that's reverse polarity fried? I purchased it 2nd hand and don't know the original dealer it came from???

      Do I stand any luck of getting a replacement?

      Hey guys glad you are all enjoying the Heli Gods and this thread. In answer to where you guys can return so burnt out units, I spoke with the boys from ARKRC today as they are the MSH dealer here in AUS.

      The units can be returned there even if they were not purchased from ARKRC but you will need to show prof of purchase and must be under 1 year old and the MSH warranty only last for year. Hope that helps and good luck guys

      Thanks Radar...

      But, hmmm, if I had the receipt then i'd probably know the supplier and hence no original issue..

      Unfortunately, I've had this 2nd hand one for about 6 months so the original owner probably had it a while before that and so over 1 yr...
      would be nice if MSH could tell the age by serial number...

      The fact you have proof of purchase should be irrelevant as if you have the physical device then it was purchased by "someone" at least... :(

      Anyway - it probably rules my luck out .. thanks for looking into it for us anyway, I appreciate the effort..

      so I maxed the tail precomp..did a little but still far from fixed.. what tail gain would help with this situation for future knowledge .. until I can get advise on what tail gains do what , I am going to go with the recommendation I have been reading for months and get larger set of landing gear and 105mm tail blades .. this is huge problem with align 600E pro dfc , the tail gear ratio seems to be messed due to the switched it from mod 0.6 to mod 0.8 and all the problems started .. and the tail swap seems to have the best results . without spending a lot to do the mod0.6 modification
      thank you for taking time out of your day to help us radar

      so I contacted ikon & spectrum.. I was told by both of them not to run telemetry on ikon...after a lot of research there are people getting it to work with ALOT of sketchy mods im not willing to do.. spektrum telemetry will work on the ar7200bx due to it has a bind/data plug to power and share info..im am not going to running it now but I did do a huge anount of research so if anyone has any questions feel free to ask me im sure I can answer for you

      Hi Radar, Just a quick question, am I doing this correctly to set up the Gyro Gain: Set it at 45% as directed in the software, keep flying and upping the gain until I get tail wag. Once I have tail wag I back the gain down by 1 3rd of the total gain?. If this is the right way of setting up the tail then I have been screwing up because I've only been dropping the gain down by a few percent not 1/3rd!.
