Hello everyone !
Wanted to ask you something, just couple of minutes ago i have tried and tested my new Raptor 30 v2 (hands still smell of Nitro, my first Nitro Heli) and have a problem. When i started the engine full stick down i noticed that i have to hold my blades quite hard from stopping them spinning... well that doesnt sound right dos it on full stick down?

I am using DX6i Spektrum (installed it yesterday) What can be wrong can you please help me out guys im sure the blades not supose to spin that hard maybe ive done something in settings wrong or not correct what is the right settings from stopping this?

Secondly lol the TH HOLD is not working ether same as Throttle cut. Well it does work in some way like if i move the Stick up a little from the Lower possible position it will move the servo that connected to engine to minimum position. Is the settings wrong again and how do i set this up as to stop the heli i had to hold the fuel tube to stop fuel pumping in to the engine and cut it off before it does my hands.

I would gladly go to a Local Club to help me out with it but i cant really call it a Local as it at least 15-20 Miles from my house as i live in Central London and dont have my own transport yet.

I know what those switches suppose to do but i need help with the correct setting for them even from anyone will do if you can tell me all the setting from your control regarding to what is responsible for them and i can set them up on My transmitter.


Very appreciate your time and help !!!
Regards,
From London, Sergey

You can adjust the throttle EPA to get a good idle without the engine dying.

Does the 6i have HOLD and CUT? Or do you want the HOLD switch to kill the engine? You should be able to adjust the throttle % of the HOLD switch. For CUT, you can hold down on the throttle trim until the engine dies. Then, reset the trim before the next flight.

IMO, you should do this and then always start the engine in throttle hold. It will prevent a lot of accidental hot starts.

For CUT, you can hold down on the throttle trim until the engine dies. Then, reset the trim before the next flight.
The DX7 has a mode where the last throttle trim setting is remembered when holding the trim lever down all the way to zero. A single flick of the trim upward resets the trim to that previous level. If the DX6i has the same mode, I'd suggest using it.

Finless also has a video for turning one of the switches (gear, I think) into an actual CUT switch.
