Well after watching some finless vids on throttle and pitch curves and 401 101 I tried for the second time today to get this heli in the air. start up was smoothe and just as it was getting light on the skids it was wanting to drift back and right. I lifted off anyway compensating for me not making sure the swash was fully level. Man is this bird snappy! A ton more responsive than my old walkera 36. Yes i admit it. I am Jayhawk25 and I was a walkera owner. But I took the twelve step program and have fully recovered. The mx400pro is almost too responsive for my own comfort. My pitch curve is -2 and +8 with flat pitch at half throttle on a full linear throttle curve, gyro gain is set at 38 for the time being. I did learn the value of lock tite however. I put a trex full metal tail and missed one of the screws. Guess the lawnmower will find it for me. Thanks for all the input from those who have helped me so far and if anyone has any good advise I would love to hear it.
