Spartan vx1e tuning help

[Dukesy500]

Ive gone abit backwards today. I did a trim flight and then flew it and it felt abit too fast so i put the agility down and did another trim flight and then the tail was not crisp. When I stop the tail it continues to turn a little then stops.

Do i need to move the tail when i do a trim flight?

Whats the default pitch up comp? Im going to put that back to default and then tune everything again in order

If you press the + and - button at the same time on the data pod it sets default. Pitch up comp doesn't affect tail stops but the trim flight does. Redo the trim flight in zero wind if possible about 8 ft above the ground.

Then adjust tail stop gains to get the tail to stop better. If the tail continues to turn then increase tail stop gain. If you are getting a bounce back then decrease

Thanks mate. Ive lost myself abit with it but going to start again.
I put the trim flight on but then moved the heli to the flight line. Could this of messed it up

Should I move the tail at all during the trim flight?

[dominator]

Set the heli down where you are going to take off then start the trim flight. Bring it to a hover and try to not touch the sticks. When the heli climbs the trim flight is complete

[Dukesy500]

Do you think i should just load the heli wizard and start again?

[Dukesy500]

Also, if i do a trim flight and then want to change the agility. Do i have to do another trim flight?

Sorry for so maby questions

[dominator]

No need to load the wizard again. The trim flight basically just sets the tail to the optimal center position during a hover. So you only need to do it correctly one time.

After that you can adjust anything and it won't affect the trim flight.

Ok perfect.

Thanks mate ill give it another try

Hi all.
So I put the pitch up comp back to 60.
Did another trim flight correctly.
Been tuning the roll rate and upping the main gain. Feeling good now and getting confident.
Still tuning the main gain untill it wobbles

Heres a video so far

Hell yeah Goblin 380! (6 min 45 sec)
