Blade 400 Set-up

[fdrotormedic]

Ok, I am kind of new to the RC copter scene and just got a Blade 400 Heli as my first...I know, should have started a little smaller...but here I am. I have had some time on a simulator, and then began setting up the aircraft. I quickly learned that a training gear need be applied. Either way, I cannot get the aircraft to hover, period. I requires a lot of tx input which is making it very hard to control. I have read several of the other posts and applied some of those recommendations but still cannot get it to hover without a lot of input. CG is good and I have 10 degree of pitch at 75% throttle. Any suggestions? What is the best way to level the swashplate?

Thanks in advance!

i had kinda the same issue i followed the steps in the trex ccpm vids in bobs tech
helped me setup the main rotor sys i have my throt pos linar and my pitch is 40, 45, 50, 75, 100 mid stick is set to 0 degrees if u set the throt hold pitch to a linier on u can check your pitches w/o unplug motor. i herd its best to hat +10 0 -10 on your ranges

but like u ive been flying for 4mos first rc was the CP pro
and im glad i started small becuase id rather crash that one
but the 400 is easier to fly then the cpp

but look at vids to help with the head set up
helps just remember its for a trex so some things are diff but generaly the same
