Sorry about your first crash - it looks like you slightly lost orientation and then over corrected and in she went!

Nice video by the way.

As for set up - yes this should be done at mid stick to get 0 degrees pitch. Have you seen finless bob's set up stuff? If not take a look at this link (but you will need to register on the Helifreak.com - Fun, Learning, Friendship and Mutual Respect site first to access it) Heli Skills and Setup 101 - LOOK here first! - HeliFreak

On that page you will find a bunch of links to video set ups, including CCPM set up part 1 and part 2. Definitely worth looking through as it will help you a lot with set up.

Good luck.

No worries about your English, we are here to help.

As Simon advised, go slowly through the Helifreak setup videos. Come back with any questions, no matter. When setting up, take as much time as you can to be as accurate as you can, don't take any short cuts, make sure you do it right.

And when you are playing around with setting the rotorhead up, please ALWAYS disconnect 2 of the 3 power wires to the motor from the ESC!!!!!!

thanks mate, I see before some setup video, and after crash just ajust and after to make sure I open manual and see something diferent :S but there I think mistake in manual, now I sure
and one question about flybar weight, how ist beter? fix it close to main head or middle or on the end ?

[coptermanic]

The closer the weight to the blade, the more stable the setup.

Can't help with the heli, but I love the sound it made when it hit the ground. Like some kind of animal in pain.

now I like 2 that sound but if you see my face after crash....
after when I cheak heli I litle relax, find what not bad everything, all neaded I have in home and replace averything, only now not hapy with stock copterX main blades, it looks very cheap and noise, when I fix align blades - heli fly more quite, later again buy align blades
