I have manually made adjustments using the buttons beside the sticks on the DX7, but would rather program these settings for a perfect hover in the menu’s. Any advice ?
Thanks

Thanks, I just got back from playing around with the sub trims. Trying to get it somewhat perfect, I know there will always be some minimal movement due to outside forces.

Im most peoples opinions and setup, you set up to have everything level and in the middle, and FLY the heli. This is because everytmie you fly and every second of overytime you fly, conditions change, so your trimmed conditions will not be correct.

I couldn't agree more ...

If you bias the swashplate for a hands-off hover, then you'll be even that much more 'off' in another flight condition (like inverted). The heli should be setup with the swash level. As Pinecone pointed out, learn to 'fly' the machine.

I appreciate the feedback, untill I get to the point of flying in verted, sub trimming will work at the moment. In the meantime, I will research on the steps of getting the swashplate level, while adjusting the rod ends to bring the settings in.

Thanks
