Looks ok, need to sort the boom out as its twisting and loosening, nothing a bit of insulation tape won't fix,

I have noticed, even with a straight pitch curve from 50 to 100 the slightest change in collective and the heli jumps up or down, could this be more of a headspeed issue, and best upping the headspeed first, its not me over correcting, as its only a tiny tiny movement.

Thanks for posting adie

Hey! 'Very good to see, airborne at last

What you can do for your normal mode pitch curve is make the slope less steep around the
area where you're hovering, usually around 3/4 stick, so that those tiny stick movements won't give you more pitch than you need.

[Mslater]

Kev - make the pitch curve more of an S shape so you get something like
-3 or -4 degrees at bottom stick,
0 at quarter stick,
+4 at centre stick,
+6 at three quarters
+10 at top stick

Should take some of the bouce out and make it come off the ground at just over mid stick.

Good luck

Thanks for replies guys,

Mark, what happens mate when I flick it into idle up, I'm going to go from +4 to 0 pitch at centre stick, is that right mate?

Thats not Kev don't be fooled it's a lookalike, Kev sold his heli's..didn't he?

Almost, you will eventually have three flight modes.

1. Normal - pitch range from -4 to +11 (sometimes up to +13)
2. Idleup1 - Pitch from -7 to +12
3. Idelup2 - Pitch from -12 to +12 (Straight line)

At the point you are ready to use the Idleups use the display on your TX to compare the curves you have in each mode. You'll see they have something in common. At just over half stick you'll see all three have the same value - this is your switch point. Adjust the curves gently if they don't meet where you want them to. You'll then get a smooth switchover.

Or

My 8FG has a smooth switch mode that allows me to flick into any of the 5 flight modes at any time but it switches over smoothly because the TX makes the flight adjustment over a 2 second period - you might have something similar on yours.

Good luck
