Please watch the attached (WeTransfer) video, does anyone know how I can fix this
(the motor doesn't run and the HKPilot always automatically disarms after +/- 5 seconds)?
My first thought was that the ESC wasn't good, so I've set up another (with a working BEC for the Servos). As you can see in the video, the motor receives electrical power (you can see when the motor beeps, he also runs a bit).I still didn't succeed to really get the motor running. The APM immediately disarms after arming (with GPS lock).

Click for the Video (.mp4)My Setup:
Thunder Tiger Raptor E550
Spektrum DX18
Mission Planner with APM:Copter V3.3.3 heli
HKPilot32 with:
DSMX REMOTE RECEIVER BY SPEKTRUM (SPM9645)
Buzzer, Safety button, Quanum LEA-6H GPS with Compass & HKPilot Transceiver Telemetry Radio Set V2 (433Mhz)The problems I've solved so far:
- Tail/Rudder servo was too slow (set the parameter: Yaw P Rate to 1.0 in stead of 0.15-0.5 (ignored this is out of range)
- De Servo's were not working at all (my motorcontroller didn't have a BEC to supply power to the servos --> solved by a flight battery. After the motor didn't run, I have replaced the Flight battery and motorcontroller with a motorcontroller WITH a BEC. Right now I don't need to add a flight battery because my BEC supplies power to the servos)
- When the system says: Bad Compass or ... not calibrated, just reboot the device. Most times it works now.
Wiring diagram to the HKPilot32:
- Swashplate (elevator, aileron and pitch): Main Out 1, 2 & 3
- Rudder servo: Aux Out 4
- Motorcontroller: Main Out 8
- Spektrum satellite to the upper SPKT/DSM port
- Compass to I2C
Just ask if you would like to obtain more information
Thanks in advance,
