Hey,

Should my EPAs be at 100% for channels 1,2 and 6? Or should I max them to 140% for max resolution like with Cyclocks? The manual says 100% but I don't know if they mean 100% literally, or 100% as in the max it will go. I assume the former, but I jsut wanna be sure.

Mainly asking as when I do step J (getting 6 degrees) and L (swash limit) I can only just get a blue light without binding. I don't have one of those bevel boxes and I'm only able to line the pitch guage up with the canopy mounts, so I need to find a more secure way of doing it. I wonder if I can some how rig the old flybar up to the head?

Cheers!

All channels should be left as "standard" 100% not fully up to 140 except the gain which needs to be reduced so the tail works correctly. The best solution I have found is via a digital angle gauge for setting the pitch

Yeah I looked at them but they aint cheap.

EPAs should be at the default for your radio, i use futaba & that's 100. I would suggest getting some thing like the flybar holder that can be screwed onto your heli head as used on the trex 3g systems. Sometimes different heli mechanics make it that when you get the blue led you might actually have as much as 10deg which might be way too much to handle, so try to check the pitch accurately & adjust as needed, something like 7deg won't hurt as my setup gave me blue light at 7deg but i found it ok for me (it made my roll rate as fast as i had it on a flybar setup).
If this unit is setup as per manual or close it flys amazing.

Just bought this, should allow me to get it precise!
