Foam Vibration Pad for/under Reciever
Does anyone know where I can obtain the foam pad that sits under the genius receiver or something to take its place I would like to try the benmlee mod where you trim the pad and cure the 6 axis drift and I want another one in case I screw this up.
Thanks |

check out your local craft or sewing store... places like that.. it's just a foam doublesided tape... you could prob even make your own in a pinch... just using thin pieces of foam and normal doublesided tape...

Thanks again Oxide I'll check around, your sure this won't affect the flight characteristics by using something besides the original pad. Ok

well i haven't tried it myself....i fly in 3 axis mode, so i haven't really bothered with the fix... but from everything i've read, the basic principle seems to be either holding the pad down a bit firmer,(with a cable tie or something) or, trimming away part of the pad... the idea behind both is to stop vibrations on the rx... i get the feeling that keeping those things in mind, it'd be pretty easy to find/make a substitute....

I tried the trimming of the pad , didn't work, and I've put a cable tie around the receiver. But I just got wise and took your advise to fly in 3 axis, I can do it! and it flies great maybe a little expo needed but great!

that's awesome! 3 axis mode definitely flys better imo!! a little bit of dual rate and expo can really tame it down for you if it's moving a little bit quick!! congrats on getting it in the air!!! you'll have loads of fun with the genius!!!

Every time I think, "Maybe if I flip into 6 axis mode, I'll get a little smoother FFF?" I instantly regret the decision and change back to 3 axis. And there she stays forever!

My Genius came with an extra foam pad in the bag with the allen wrenches and such.
That being said, though I thought when I ordered it that I would start out in 6 axis mode, I managed to learn to hover just fine in 3 axis and after reading the threads about leveling the Rx and damping vibrations etc. to make the 6 axis work, I never tried it at all. I'm really enjoying this little bird just fine in 3 axis mode and see no reason to change it now Jim

+1, completely unecessary, IMO!

Wow, I wonder now about the 6 axis in the New V120DO2S V2, I;m getting one for Christmas. I hear it makes things smoother and more stable in 3D but can hamper fff a little.

3axis mode!
IMO, forget about 6 axis mode because 3 axis is 10x's more stable and with a couple of days of tweaking my TX settings, my genius will hover in one spot! It's dialed in perfect! As far as trimming the foam pad under the receiver, I figured I would try it for 3 axis mode, and there was a very noticeable difference in how stable is flew! It's more stable than a coaxial now. I didn't feel like taking the whole plate off, so I just cut out a small square on the front right and left corners of the pad( as much pad as I could reach with my xacto knife ), and that's all it took! Like I said before, spend the time to dial in your TX settings like I did and you'll have one awesome heli. If anyone has any questions at all, I will be more than happy to share everything that I have done.
