Like the heli. The green canopy rips. Nice and easy to see. I'm in Canada too. I'm thinking of getting a Logo 500, Hurricane 550, or T-Rex 500 this summer.

Did you get all your stuff through RC Flight Store?
I'd also like to know your set-up. You should post your's here:

One last question, how much sim time have you done?

I'm 100% beginner, have a CX2 and Realflight G4. Can't wait to get a large heli, but I figure I should do at least 50 hours on the sim first.

I love the Logo 500, i got everything from Ken @ rcflightstore.com, personally he is the best i have ever delt with.

I can send you a screen shot of everything i have if you wish, gota pm me.

Where are you located ?

When you buy a heli you'll have to know what one you want, the logo 500 is big, the trex 500 is smaller.

I love my logo, very good heli stable and nice, im very new to this also, but im learning fast, i practice on the sim alot.

You have your account set to not accept PM's. I'm in Ontario. How much time have you spent on the sim so far in hours?

Flight time in the sim id say about 200 plus hours. I can hover and move around a little not much more tho, takin it easy and going slowly :P

Yes you need that thing in governor mode, sounds like you are running a linear throttle curve that is not good. Need to run "flat" curves.

Have a look at Finless Bob's build video on the 500 3D there is a whole section dedicated to setting up the Jazz ESC - its easy and will give you much better flight characteristics in Mode 4

[3secondsToImpact]

What is the tooth count on the pinion you are using?
Not sure its me or the recording, but it sounds like a very high headspeed.
Do you have any way to tach the headspeed?
Should be around 2000-->2200 rpm at 80% throttle curve in governor mode on the Jazz.

Well as Shawn said lastnight after setting the ESC up with mode 4 and using mode 1 on the radio 65% throttle it flys hovers WAY NICER, thanks shawn for helping me, no video from todays event, but she is much nicer to hover.

I do need to fix the tail from wondering away but thats about it. I'm very impressed with this heli and extremely happy,

thanks Shawn
