[bedlam]

the heli as 3GX on it i am using AR8000 with DX8

on swashplate i setup pitch 12+/12- and the aileron/elevator to 11+/11-

then on my dx8 i set aileron/elevator switch 0 to 9+/9- and switch 1 to 10+/10- and switch 2 to 11+/11-

i setup my pitch on F mode/idle switch 0 to -2 ,+5 ,+10 and F mode/idle switch 1 to -5 ,+5 ,+10 i did F mode/idle switch 2 the same as 1 for now

ars thses ok swashplate

set aileron = -43
set elevator = +37
set pitch = +41
Expo = off
E-Ring = off

or is there something not right in my build?

Your numbers don't look unreasonable for the 600E. You should turn off the Expo and E-ring since this can mess with the FBL system and Align states to turn this stuff off in the manual. I don't understand exactly what you are doing with your switches in regards to pitches. Can you explain how and why you are doing this? I'm asking because it is very important to set-up a radio in a fashion that doesn't change things like pitch in different modes and such. This makes it very difficult to get the correct "feel" on the sticks.

I pretty much use the same settings on every heli I own in regards to pitch / throttle curves and it goes as follows:

Pitch

Normal: 30, 40, 50, 75, 100 or 0, 25, 50, 75, 100
Idle 1: 0, 25, 50, 75, 100
Idle 2: 0, 25, 50, 75, 100
Hold: 0, 25, 50, 75, 100

Throttle (w/o governor):

Normal: 0, 45, 65, 85, 100
Idle 1: 100, 95, 90, 95, 100
Idle 2: 100, 100, 100, 100, 100
Hold: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

Throttle (w/ governor)

Normal: x1, x1, x1, x1, x1 (rpm #1)
Idle 1: x2, x2, x2, x2, x2 (rpm #2)
Idle 2: x3, x3, x3, x3, x3 (rpm #3)
Hold: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

NOTE: I use the Hold switch to turn the heli on and off when I use this function.

hi i think i've got it right now my 0 pitch was off i have redone the head and ball links now i have

set aileron = -42
set elevator = +42
set pitch = +42
Expo = off
E-Ring = off

on swashplate i setup pitch 12+/12- and the Cyclic pitch to 10+/10-

then on my dx8 i set aileron/elevator switch 0 to 8+/8- and switch 1 to 9+/9- and switch 2 to 10+/10-

DX8 as a switch F.Mode 0,1,2 it the same as Normal,Idle 1,Idle 2

F.Mode 0 to -2 ,+5 ,+10
F.Mode 1 to -5 ,+5 ,+10
F.Mode 2 to -5 ,+5 ,+10

I think Align wants you to use as high of ail/ele swash mix % as you can. 42% seems too low. You should probably be around 80%. Try using the inner holes on the arms and make sure your endpoints are at 100.
