What is left of my Black Hawk 450

[Edwinssiv]

Here are pictures of what is left of my Black Hawk 450...it was noble bird and it flew well :noteworthy...unfortunately it's pilot was not good enough to save it from its fate with a chain link fence at extremely high speed! :arggg:
I tore down the rotor head and rebuilt it completely using Finless videos...I had a problem with tracking going out in 3d moves...what ever I had done while rebuilding fixed that problem. So I took it and started pushing it a little harder. Wind was around 10mph but the heli was performing admirably in...so I pushed on. I was doing flips, rolls, FFF, even tried some stall turns...I then attempted to pull 2 flips back to back...well a really strong gust of wind, loss of orientation and a chain link fence finished my BH450 for good...I broke the frame, tore up the main gear, bent spindle shaft, bent fly bar, trashed some align 325 woodies, ripped the tail off the boom, ruined my CF paddles , tail blades, ripped the landing gear off the frame (the landing gear intact), bent the steel tail support :wow2:, and stripped my Futaba 9257 (only $15 to rebuild...Thank You God!) All the other electronics survived...rx, gyro, motor, ESC and all the cyclic servos are operable...:)

So this evening...I ordered my new heli...the Gazaur Mars 480 :YeaBaby:

OMG Edwin, I can't believe it. One question, did the chain link fence sustain any damage? That is a catastrophic crash. I think you just wanted an excuse to order the Gazaur and aimed for that fence (ROFL)! Well, at least you have some electronics left for the new bird! I will say a prayer for the ol' Blackhawk! BTW, sold the Axe today. It wasn't easy, but between that, 2 planks, a gas buggy and some assorted crap I made about $320 bucks! Should cover a few things, but the woman's already planning a 4 day vacation in 2 weeks. Hotel cost... about $300 bucks. Rats. :mad:

Hey guys, I'm flying my TRex right now with only ±7° on Idle up. I'd like to change it to ±10°, where do I increase it, in the swash menu by increasing pitch?

You can increase swash travel in the swash menu by simply increasing the values of each channel, you have to be cautious of binding.Then using a pitch guage redo your pitch curves to get what you need for +/-
