Phoenix and T-Rex 450

[christhomas]

I'm learning with a T-Rex 450 SE V2 and DX7i and would like to take advantage of Phoenix to move beyond simple tail-in hovering. (Attempts to go further with the real thing have ended in tears!) The heli is set-up as per Finless but with 15% expo on aileron and elevator. It feels reasonably comfortable and controlable.

I'm struggling, though, to get the model in Phoenix (T-Rex 450 SE - Trainer) to be even remotely as easy to fly as the real thing. So far I've copied the settings for the real model and been tweaking them but not really getting anywhere. I've found references to the T-Rex 450 in Phoenix being particularly twitchy and a recommendation to try the 600 instead - althought that seems almost as bad.

I suspect, too, that the tiny screen on my laptop is doing me no favours!

Anyway - Can someone let me have some settings (on the DX7i and within Phoenix) which might get me started?

Thanks.

Chris

I would suggest checking the heli first mid stick 0% pitch then set the radio throttle and pitch curve then set expo.
This is how i setup a friends heli and it hovers purfect and handle nice and smooth.
I have Pheonix great for those winter night but not as good as hands on.
