Without additional thought I got an adf2 for my robbe sea wolf. After setting it up in the tech rack it seemed to do it all straight up except that the only way to get the rear planes to respond is to plug the rear plane leads into the rx after everything is switched on. But as it still worked the planes automatically I figured ok I'll just run the forward planes off the tx. Only out at the lake things took a turn... The adf did a flip instead of commanding rise when the bow dove down it commanded dive!!!
The result was a crash dive in every sense, with the nose driving down almost to the bow planes in the mud. As today was the first sea trials I hadn't primed or painted it yet so I could see the blurred white image beneath the water just hanging at rather sharp angle. Full reverse did the trick and pulled it free but minus its sail and forward superstructure. Pictures to follow.
Back home for a post mortem I ran through the whole system again.... Checking each lead and its position and then unplugging and repluggin them all back.
Now when I try to boot up into set up mode it wont... All I get is an orange/red light that changes to a solid green...
Now matter what I try it will not let the tx run the rear plane servo without unplugging and repluggin it with everything switched on...
To be truly sure that now interference is happening I have mounted it away from both motor, battery and power cables.
And it only orientates the planes in reverse. I even tried reversing the stick direction via the tx which works manually but no effect to the adf.
So now I am stumped re the adf and minus one sail & forward deck :(
