first heli finally set it up....

[Trizz]

finally sorted out the linkage problems with the knight 600e man i thought i was loosing my mind, all of the control rods where way off, well i readjusted the rods took the Helli outside
checked ever thing again idled up the Helli vibrated so bad it look like it was a hula dancer,well i took the unit apart again for like the 100th time started reading all the post here again the i came across the finless blade balancing and tracking vids well i ordered a helimax balancer ho**&*% s***t the blades where so far out of balance and these where stated to be pre-balanced blades, well i set the dx7 up from JERMOS vid great stuff by the way! well after all this i took it out side idled up wahoo no shakes!! it was a little to windy and since this is my first bird I'd better wait till the wind dies down before i try to hover, should i get some training gear, i can fly in the g4 Sim and i can hover no problem
well all i can say is this is a great feeling setting this bird up i really learned alot
i'm hooked this site is the best!!!:noteworthy

training gear -YES
by a hoola hoop and some wood dowls, make a gear out of that best one i ever used.

can you hover nose in on the sim? can you do figure 8's? if so you should be ok when you first head out but still use the gear for at least your first flight especially if your alone.

Congrats in bringing the heli up first time. If the Heli is too responsive you can tame it a bit down by limiting the traveling way of the swashplate for nick and roll. I dialed mine down to 41% :-) and its still able to do loops and rolls. This makes flying much easier in the beginnning because you got more time to recover because you cannot do that "extreme faulty moves"...maybe not in an extreme swashplate angle.

Also expo could help you.
