Hello,

I am flying an HBK2 with my newly-bought dx6i and AR6200 rcvr. I was using the esky HH gyro for awhile and everything worked fine together until I upgraded to the Futaba 401 gyro. Now, normally, when I apply power to the heli, the rcvr light goes steady and I am good to fly. With the gyro, when the light goes steady, it is also good to fly. Unfortunately, I cannot get both to happen simultaneousely. It's weird. Either the rcvr will go steady and the gyro wont, or the opposite will happen. It is driving me nuts.

I refuse to believe that either part is faulty. It has to be a compatibility problem or something. Maybe not enough power? I use 11.1v 2200 maH 12C 20C Lipos. If I leave the tx off and turn the helicopter on first, the rcvr goes steady but the gyro doesnt. Any ideas? I have all my wires braided and my rcvr, remote rcvr, gyro, and ESC (25A brushless) separated.
