Hi all,
Till now I've worked with foam planes, home made quadcopters and ready made (like dji phantom)
but a couple of days ago I started modifying a MJX 646 heli (fixed pitch) so it will work with APM 2.6 .
Description
The helicopter looks like this and this is it's swashplate.
It has two servos at 90deg angle. Also, it has two dc motors (they are called brushed, right?).
What I did
I got an APM 2.6 (with extra gps and compass module) and two brushed esc.
My RC controller is a ZD T7AH-2400 (tested with a quadcopter and a foam plane and works like a charm).
I connected everything according to this link.
But a quick read on the page will reveal the source of my failure. This page is about collective pitch helicopter, where mine is a fixed pitch one.
So the question is, does APM works with fixed pitch helicopters?
Maybe it's a naive question, but I really looked everywhere on the net and couldn't find a single piece of information about that.
Any help would be much appreciated. (And a bonus question: Does it work with coaxial helicopters?)
Thanks for your time.
