Hi sonofdelboy
They are all preset to the model's in phoenix you can adjust the same as you would in tx almost but it's all done within the phoenix's settings.

but why? do i have not to set up the gyro or anything just trim it?

[DT39]

It's all simulated in phoenix not real world that's why, so tx just needs to be on the default values for everything then like you say once you have calibrated the tx in phoenix then maybe just a bit of trim and away you go. Make sure you have phoenix set on a new model memory otherwise you will stuff up all your settings for your heli.

Liam, once you get it back off've your folks you can have a play with setup on it. I run it with normal and idle up 1 and 2 actually set up on my tx and have pheonix looking at each channel separately. It took me a little while to get it sorted out but it's allowed me to get the pitch response as close as possible to my real models.

It works perfectly well in preset mode though so don't stress about it too much. Just remember that you'll need to use a different model memory. Once you've got it calibrated it shouldn't need any trim at all as it sees your centre stick positions as neutral. Pheonix is a great learning tool but keep in mind that it represents a perfectly set up, money no object spec on each heli so remember that in real life our own models might not perform so well all of the time.

out of the box, phoenix does tame the heli's quite a bit. Once you are more comfortable with basic stuff, it might be worth having a play with some settings, ie hover stability is set to 100%, so knock a few percent off that for example, and create some wind conditions (it assumes perfectly still otherwise). All helps tune the reactions you will need in real life.
