Meanwhile, I still have my hopes on NightFlyr's settings to FCA...hoe that will give me some direction... but till then I'll atleast focus on other things of the Heli...

Thats a pity, As Ian said no way does HC have anything to do with your ESC problems. Have you watched the video on the HC site I personally think it is better than the Heliguy video. You must follow the instructions exactly, watch it a couple of times before you do it. Whatever you decide good luck. Ivor

Hi All,

Back with my Helicommand.... now its fully installed & everything seems to be working fine....

Need some help in final settings / configurations.

Please note my screen shots of HC & also radio settings. BTW, I've used AUX3 for the pilot. Also note that my radio now is JR9503 (DSX9 was a back-up unit..)

Please do share your inputs for a final fine-tuning..

Thanks in advance!!

Your HC screen shots look fine.
Why did you have to reverse Ail, Ele and Rud servos in your Tx?
You should really remove all sub trim in your Tx as well, before you set up HC.
You may need to reduce your servo travel in the s/w to get the correct pitch range.
You need to set up your Throttle and Pitch curves, but need to check the 500 forum for suggestions.

Yep. I never thought that an online forum would be so interactive, informative... Thanks to all the members here!! This learning process is really good.. Every remark from fellow members is worth a review...just go by their collective suggestions, implement, share back, learn.. Great!!

Wow...Finally after couple of months into it...Completed the set-up of Helicommand.. Achieved hovering without touching my sticks!!

Helicommand is really good for newbies like me... takes you thru a whole learning curve...and finally you achieve it.

Enjoying my hovering for now...

Thanks to all on this forum who have been really helpful in making my learning great fun!!

This thread is closed!!

Glad to hear you finally got it sorted - now you can get on with the serious business!

Can you please either PM me or add a zip to this thread, your HC set up file. Please include details of any servo reverse in Tx.
