Blade MSR X just 2 questions

[colintainsh]

The more i read about it the more i get confused, one says you can trim the elevator airelon and rudder with trim controls on your Trannie, another says no way do that.

Then i came across a video that says when you bind the Heli it should be in Plane mode not Heli. Can you head me in the right direction, thanks for reading this.

The mSRX shouldn't need to have subtrim since the flybarless controller (AS3X) should keep the heli level electronically. That said, I have heard of people using subtrim on the 130x. Bottom line is, is shouldn't be required, but you won't do any harm by applying it. Just make sure you really need it first. For starters, understand the principle of "Translating tendency" since that is normal, and not something you should try to trim out. (Helicopter Translating Tendency)

When you bind your heli, it should be in heli mode. I think with the smaller (4 channel) helis, you can use plane mode, but I don't think it buys you anything.

I've just ordered one from Kings Lynne. £49.90 post free. I think the non heli mode refers to not using CPM. It might be worth using a throttle curve to get it flying the way you want. There does seem to be variable opinion on trimming a flybarless heli. One reason for me going for the msr-x and the fact it's cheaper than fixing my msr. I like the idea of the electronics board being edge on to the direction of crash.
