Milli Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hi I'm new to the huey. Flew a few missions using the automatic start sequence, which worked fine. But for some reason, when I have tried it today, during the automatic start sequence, there is a loud bang and the blade ends up on the ground underneath the helicopter. The sequence keeps on going but I end up with just the rotor spinning round with no blade attached to it. Any ideas what is happening? I'm touching nothing as the start sequence is active.

IonicRipper Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Make sure your cyclic is neutral and the collective is all the way down before starting it. i5 4590 @ 3.77GHz | GTX 1060 6GB | 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 | 1TB HDD+500GB HDD | Win10 Home X64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milli Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Will give it a try later. Thank you IonicRipper. Regards, Milli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma6584 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Took me a while to figure this a while ago as well. With that experience I would add make sure throttle is rolled back to idle. That is probably the main reason for your issue. It was with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milli Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Thanks enigma, I think that is the problem from memory. I'm not at the DCS computer at the moment so can't try it. I'm using a Thrustmaster Warthog with the left throttle lever set as the throttle (for the moment) and i had it set at full throttle as I started the start-up sequence.

Regards, Milli I too use a Thrustmaster Warthog. I use the little gray wheel on the throttle quadrant as my official "throttle" for the Huey.

jay43 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Its the cyclic that's causing this whatever you do don't move it on the ground to erratically or aggressively as it seems to eject the rotor off the Huey. Happened to me twice now upon landing and on the ground in a stationary position I have moved the cyclic in a clockwise and counter clockwise circle each time be it small circle but a little fast and pop of it went.
