Cyclic inputs during startup?

[Danyboy]

Hello folks!I just started on a scale-project I dreamed about a long time...Take a BK117 fuselage of 2,2m length, add a four-bladed Vario-head, Hacker A80 Motor, guess the rest... ;)I was planning to use the v-stabi on that, since I was lured by the ads...Now I read statements that one needs to leave the cyclics alone during spool-up, and I'm somewhat scared about that there are reactions of the model, which would shatter the whole scale-thing...So what's up with that warning?Has the v-stabi been created with the trainer-pilot in mind, less for scale-ones?What are your thoughts on the topic?Thanks in advance!Daniel

you can move the cyclics once the v-bar has initialized(the swash bump). just remember it will try to move the heli at the rate you set the stick to no matter what the headspeed. so it can be very different than a flybarred heli in that respect.
