Hc3x tuning help

heliglenn71 · 05-25-2012, 04:40 PM

last night I flew my 6HV with the HC3X Base. Im new to Helicommand and need some help on tuning. As a heads up my cyclic and tail gain are set at 50, I was using 80% & 100% flat throttle curves with my DR at 80% and Expo at 30%. I didn't really push the heli as I had a few issues. The main problem was a bad elevator bounce, can't remember if it was doing it all the time or with sharp elevator inputs. Also the cyclic in general had a very robotic fill. All in all I can tell with a few adjustments this FBL uint will be nice. But where should I start on tuning?
Thanks, Glenn

For the XBase set the following on the Rigid page:

Initial response: 3
Elevator filter: 2
Decay rate: 5

It is very important to get the head gain up to the point of oscillation and then back it down approx 10%

Danny thanks again for your help! Its unreal at the support you and Joachim give.

Im so impressed with you two guys, If the helicommand works out well i'll sell the beastx and buy another HC3X !!!
