HobbyZone Super Cub issues

[wiwoodsrider]

Hi all, looked through threads and didn't see this so thought I would ask.  I have two issues with a new HZ Super Cub S:  First whenever I plug in the battery and have to bind the TX I now have to do it with the binding plug, each time.  It will not bind no matter what I do otherwise.  This was not always the case; it started doing this the last few times I went out.  I didn't crash it or anything.  Not sure if this matters but I am using a DX6i TX.  

Second, when I do get it in flight (I am new so I always take off and land in SAFE mode) the tail seems to move  (not sure if the word used is oscillate) side to side, a bit excessively.  Doesn't matter if it's climbing, level or descending it seems to move side to side more than I think it should.  I checked the CG all seems good there, it is spot on.  Could it be too much rudder is being used?   Any ideas/help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I am not sure why you would have to bind the plane every time you plug in a new battery

I do not own a DX6i , but it maybe something with the Tx programming ( not sure )older versions had some issues and the manuals were wrong
you could call Horizon Hobby and ask them about it just use their call back deal...leave your name and info and they will call you back
You should not have to re-bind with every battery change .

But many have noted after awhile the tail will oscillate on this plane ( some the SAFE Board was loose but many were moving when the plane was arming

I explained to another when you hook up the battery the plane needs to be setting level and on the ground
just attach the battery and let it hang there until the SAFE system sets itself...the control surface will twitch and the ESC will beep
after it does it's thing THEN install the battery....the plane needs to be level and perfectly still while going through it's process
They found after they did that it never had the oscillating issue anymore

IF you hold it in your hand when plugging in the battery and you are moving it about, it will throw the gyro's off and it will cause
the AS3X an issue ....( oscillating )

here is another forum where that was addressed

Thanks for the informative reply.  I thought I was hooking up the battery while keeping it still but I will pay closer attention to it.  it could be that I did not. 

As for the transmitter issue, I was able to bind without the binding plug (didn't fly it, just in my house tonight) so maybe it was an intermittent issue, not sure.  All control surfaces seemed to work fine.  I will try that call back thing with HH if this comes up again.  Thanks again!
