Unhappy Honey Bee CP2 calibration?

Hi,

I've just bought a Honey Bee CP2 and charged the batteries. Looking forward to turning the thing on and *try* to fly... But it seems that it just won't calibrate?

I turn the controller on. Wait a few seconds. Then I turn the heli on. It blinks red-green a couple of times, then it just stays completely red forever.

Any suggestions?


Thanks,

Jørn!

Re: Honey Bee CP2 calibration?

Hi,

First time I forgot to look at the watch. But I use the little orange charger that came with the box and stop charging when the green light goes out.

Also it seems to vary abit... I timed it once to 1 hour 30 minutes, but yesterday it took about 2 hours...

The manual also says that the time to charge will vary depending on how much current you give it. I found a "transformator" (is that the correct English word?) that gives 12.5V DC that I plug into the orange charger.

Regards,

j0rn

Make sure your throttle and trim are both all the way down.
