3GX v2.1

[Wood butcher]

Ok i have the new 2.1 version now and was just having a look through user menu,and it differs from old set up of course it has no model selection on there ie 250 450 etc,what do u do when u connect unit up to pc do u just stick with the parameters already in there because they don't mine a lot to me at moment or do u play around with them till u likethe way it flys.I have a 450 and 500 to setup up ta

Hey.

I also have some nice settings for the 3GX running V2.1.
The .txt files attached you can open up from within the PC software to see what sliders I have changed.

The 450 ones are a little tamer than the 700E, so may suit you better. But give them a try if you like and come back to me on what you feel on the model in flight.

If you have any questions fire away, with some basic explanation we can have you better understanding what each parameter does for future use yourself.

you cant really go wrong if you go playing with the default parameters as they are a bit like trimming a heli.

Hey.

You're welcome buddy, glad to offer some help.

Essentially yes, the base settigns from a fresh upgrade of the 3GX to V2.1 will get you flying but will not be great for all models. They may suit some machines better than others, but experience has shown that they need work to feel good.

Unfortunately with the 3GX, in order to extract great performance out of the unit you need to know how to tune a flybared model to then be able to see the various parameters availble to you via the PC software and adjust them to obtain the flight performance required. It's not beyond anyones reach by all means and taking your time when setting up initially and then when making any changes using the PC link pays off at the end.
For me, as I have spent so long with both the 3G and 3GX I know what parameters to tweek to effect a specific change and indeed do so on a new model. From here I then adjust as necassary to fine tune the model to the owners specific requirements, should this be a super stable flight for a beginner, through to a more edgy setup for the 3D'er.

The best thing is to keep us posted on how you find the model with any settings and we can help advise what changes to make so that your more suits you the best it can.
