Motion Rc 470 Huey

i just got mine a few days ago, im impressed, very nice, compared to the smaller ones i have been flying. I have over 10 years flying rc planes. I have a question? I put mine togother and went through all the steps. GPS initialized, and i lifted up, it started raising up on its own? it flew about 40ft up without me doing it and hovered over my maple tree, My heart was racing, i thought i was about to destroy it. No controls would work!, it held its postion nicely. i made the decision to hit the return to home at this point switch. It returned with no issues and i cut the engine off. i was very confused...... i disconnected the battery and went to power down the transmitter, i noticed that switch B was downward, ( i know it was supposed to be up) i think my finger accidently hit it, by this point it was getting to dark to try again, and i was still shaking!. What does switch B do on this TX? In the manual it says accesories? i now know to keep a eye on it. Will try again this weekend, but this time im going to the field with no trees around for hopefully a better experience. Any imput appreciated. Thanks

I would email Motion RC I have in the past and they got back to me right away

i emailed them this morning with some info from testing it yesterday evening. I get no movement from the the stick in GPS mode, however in angle mode i do get movement. This was done testing on ground, i am afraid to try it again, unless Motion Rc can tell me what i have done wrong or what is wrong... im waiting on their response

What did it. Do in angle mode ? Mine will not work in GPS mode and when it did work 1 time in GPS mode I had to immediately turn off due to tail rotor spins so fast it is doing tight 360's really fast 470 airwolf. But first had to repair broken wheels

angle mode seems to be great, testing it without blades on it, swashplate moves around with no issues.. support from Motion Rc hasnt been the best, i send emails about the issues to them and it takes forever to get back. think they are waiting on the warranty to expire (30 days) helicopter looks incredible but i feel i cant trust it. weather has been windy and raining so i havent had a chance to try again.

Have you fixed the problem?

[Ben98328]

yes, i took it to the field and tried again and everything was perfect, i have no idea why this happened at home. so far i have put maybe 15 mins on it, weather in pacifc NW hasnt been that great when im off work! i will probably buy another one as soon as i can, not the huey, just another model of Roban
