Must be fake,i read last night that they dont piro flip,more of a piro flop lol

Nice flying Laurence,good pitch management,mines still pooh

Thanks guys!

And yeah, I really struggled doing much at all the first 5 or so flights and piro flips have suddenly become easier since extending the tail boom.


A roll is left or right cyclic, it actually rolls pretty nicely on the spot (if a little slowly), as for flips, well it's a bit boring to just do flips and nothing else but it can do them you have to remember this heli has a very small blade disk vs it's weight compared to our larger helis so naturally it's going to appear like it's falling faster, you just have to catch it fast.

If you go from a Gaui 200, Trex 250 etc up to a Trex 700 you're going to feel a massive difference, this is the same principle just with lower power and even smaller .

100% stock mate minus tail boom and swash mod, oh and a painted canopy haha..

Recommended DX7 settings plus around 5% more pitch and max tail travels.

I agree with the other posts, Im following the stock settings and mine's no where near as agile as that??? Stock lip'os yes but surely you dont need upgraded lipo's do you? I'm using DX8 and have seen vids on you tube with guys saying lengthen the push rods 2 turns to reduce negatibe pitch, tried that no real difference. Can you share with us how you did it?

I'm not sure what you mean... I just upped the pitch travel 5 degrees more than from what the manual states as I like my pitch .

Changing the pushrod length is just to get the centering at zero. The only way I have found to really check that it is at zero is to do a full power climb upright and then inverted. If they are the same, then the centre should be at zero. I turned mine one turn and tweaked the travel adjust slightly.

That's just mental, Hey i still remember you flying your Dragonus around the living room

Yeah, got a Trex 450 pro now to replace that . That reminds me I still have a few packs charged for that and it's raining outside lol..

If mine flew even half as nice it would be a keeper laurence.
I'm with guy on this as mine realy is a heap of tripe in comparison:
The tail just lets go with even the smallest amount of pitch now, hasmt always been like that
but now its useless. Have checked the boom done the canopy rubbers mod etc its like it no longer has Heading hold enabled.

Try bending your tail blades as they can become mis shaped.

I also forgot to mention that I have removed the tail fin.

Great Vid mate, awesome flying inside what looks like a convered horse box! Impressive 5 stars

i took mine off last night and found it better,harder for orientation for my 40 yr old eyes but better holding.dont tell guy,he would have enough material to write a book on why not to buy one

nice flying laurence are you doing the world record with it mate

[LaurenceGough]

Thanks mate and yeah, tied onto the bottom of my Logo skids, that's two more airborne helis!!
