New pilot needing expertise

Hey everyone! Glad to finally be online again. Hope everyone is staying safe and positive!

Im currently attempting to maiden my first bulsa build and I'm having this servo issue on low throttle. (click here for video)

no mixing on my controller. Using R9m with 4 channel pwm output to 3 servos and a brushed esc. Motor has caps, wires are twisted, and I've tried adding a ferrous ring and a few wraps of the signal wires with no success.

I've hit the end of my knowledge and was hoping someone online might know what's going on.

Thanks!

Update*** swapped brushed motor for brushless and issue went away....

Strange behavior indeed.
When you setup the model in your Tx, could you have selected a glider instead of a plane. You may have 'created' a glider mix.
It sounds like the motor is spinning at low throttle & did not stop until you hit the throttle cut switch. Did you calibrate the ESC?

As Merv said it looks like you ended up with a mix some how. If it were me I would start with a new model and go thru the set up and rebinding sequence.

I have calibrated esc, and have it set on automatic as of right now. Esc is a pixie-20P. It seems to throttle up and down nicely, only issue being crazy servo deflection on low. Now servos are being powered by bec on esc.... but apperently this set up worked before, i have just swapped out relievers twice now thinking that was the issue. No change

No mixing has been added. It's a copy of another working model.


If it was copied then maybe some data has gotten corrupted, as I stated earlier I would start from scratch with a new model doing your own programing. By swapping receiver it seems to me the problem is the radio setup.

As stated before.... this is NOT a radio issue.
Thank you. That has been completely ruled out.
