My second VX1 flight

Really, ah ok, so set the trim flight up then remove?

Yea, I plugged mine in, set it to Trim flight, then it said go hover. I then unplugged it and thought I might need to have it connected so I plugged it back in to see what it said and it was still on the same screen 'Go Hover" so I unplugged it done the trim flight which was confirmed by the increase in pitch in flight. Checked the values and it had done it

Looking Good Nick...
I can only hover and fly tail in at the moment,
so I should be flying like you tomorrow with the VX1 set up on my 600n????

Yes you will,but then by lunchtime i will be as good as that Steven Gerrard geezer

You got to hover?????......for how long......oh shit,i had better get on the sim

[Jamin_00]

lol, it says 5 secs but it took me longer as I forgot how to hover too

please remember guys the trim flight is there to enhance piro work so unless your into that then you will literally see diddly squat.

with that being said please also remember if your positive your swash is level and you get way off trim flight figures then the cg is the likely culprit. every fbl will work to 95% of its ability without the trim or cg being right but if you want the full 100% then take the time to get these as good as possible. my own trex 700 is -14 and +20 which literally is nothing. Spartan recommend if you see either of these above 50 then you should try to level the swash or balance the heli better. unfortunately balance is largely out of our hands as kit builders but it should not be forgotten.

anyway, nice flight Nick, you would certainly benefit from the trim flight so worth doing, enjoy.

cheers

My CoG was spot on and my reading were -107+46

Checked the swash with a leveller as it was done by eye first of all and it was way off lol. Will redo the trim flight on Sunday after resetting it just to see how better it is.

[raptorheli2]

100 units=1 degree of whatever one is off FYI.

cheers

[Jamin_00]

Mine was 1.07 deg forward and 0.46 to the left I think it was

Tomorrow looks ideal for a trim flight and then to play with the vibe log feature

May just have to sell a vbar or 2

Will it work with a Bluetooth module ?

Datapod Don.....it's mint!!!!

Leave it connected till it's all tund up....i guess 5 flights.....then keep it in the Tx case till you want to tweak.

But you can't do it wirelessly though ?

[waveydavey]

I don't think so Don I'm sure if there is enough call for it though Spartan would do it.

[Nick B]

No idea,i have set mine up on the heli with a short servo lead which i will leave for future tweaking,alot easier than pushing buttons and stuff.

I was increasing the elev de-bounce in jumps of 10% from 70 to 190,each time i landed it took 10 seconds to adjust.
