Sorry for starting a new thread, it seed there were to may possibilities for this, threads really need to be subdivided into categories, anyway,
Just did it, flew out three packs and did not crash,well a heck of alot in the sim but that's ok. Anyway I am wondering how this sounds to the people who know
Start with a 400
1) Hummingbird 5a BEC
2) 30a ESC
3) 65HB on the top
4) Standard servo for the tail yep I know get rid of it.
5) Align 325 pro's
6) Align Trex paddles, not cf
7) Weights out at the end of the fly bar
8) Gyro control rod on the 3rd servo whole
9) 2200msh/20c's yep they are heavy
I have not as yet started with the radio set up other then to figure out the reverse of the servo's and change the swash mix for the servos.
Just learning so no bother for Idele up numbers yet
Throttle curve 0,45, 60, 75, 90
Pitch curve 25, 40, 50, 75, 100
Gyro Gain on the gyro full CCW as I undertsand that is Rate mode not counting the TX, 0=79 and 1=20. I think that this makes it possible to adjust the gyro for the mech. side of it in rate mode then use switch position 0 for the HH mode?
So now the results, I can hover in a 5 ft. cube, tail seems to hold pretty well considering the servo and gyro. Seems a bit had to pull off the ground smothly, some seem to say just get it up to the 3-4 foot hover and start from there?
Sub-trim, as usual with helis they need constant rt aeilron to compensate fro all the aerodynamic and mech magic, is it better to trim it out using the sub's or just keep using the trim swithces, I'll assume (dangerous) that the rudder needs to be subs so as to not send conflictin comands to the gyro.
I don't fully understand the "expo" thing yet so I figure the weights on the fly bar are doing the same thing?
Well thats alot, and probably forgot some important info so just let me know so I can fill in the blanks, aside from that any 400 drivers in Singapore? Slightly off the map for the blades as of now. Jeff
