    Went to fly today and as usual I set Tx to iu2 then flick throttle hold off and fly. Haven't flown this one yet since I set up rescue on iu2 and decided to use iu1 for normal flying with a curve of -10 0 +10. I completely for got about having set up rescue and was wondering why it was trying to tilt to the back left while I was trying to lift of in iu2, I settled it down scratched my head and flicked it to normal mode -3 0 +10 and it lifted into a nice stable hover.

    I settled it back down I flicked it into iu1 at mid stick, it was zero pitch with 80% throttle so I lifted it into hover and all was good so I settled it down again I hit ui2 as I have done plenty of time before, but not since I set up rescue mode. with Plenty of head speed it shot straight up and hard left, I hit throttle hold just before it tried to re kit it self and I then said to myself (you #%*~<{ dickhead, rescue is on iu2) ☹️.

    It needs blades, lower frames and a set of skids, parts are ordered. JR NEX E6 550

    I just thought I would share, Billy

      Hi guys. I run ikons myself but have not updated software to v2 yet. Can you clarify if these probs are associated with issues with the new software or a setup issue.

      so the new version has added pitch in the recovery. for what is happening from the description I would say there is a bad vibe in the heli... The Brain/Ikon is incredibly vibe resistant... except in bailout mode.. then it is very sensitive.

      I don't have rescue, but switch errors have been known to happen when learning to program a new 8-Ch Tx with 8 friggin switches on it.... and remembering what switch was assigned to what function while in flight. :p

      Sometimes we make stupid mistakes with our machines.. head up, keep going. The good thing is, this will happen never again!
