Ive had my copy of phoenix for a few weeks and ive not used it all that much.
But as my heli is broken at the moment (worn out tail bearings) ive been using it a bit more.
I have a 4 channel 34mhz transmitter and I dont think it was setup properly before. Ive recalibrated it now and ive set a key on my keyboard to use idle up mode.
What a difference idle up makes
Many of the heli's just wouldnt fly properly before, the tails were all over the place and they didnt seem to have any real power. Put them into idle up and I can fly them pretty well now.
Ive just been flying a Trex600 and doing some nice tight loops, flying inverted and I even tried to do some tic tocs. I dont think ive got the hang of tic tocs yet as I seem to lose lots of height and then I crash. Im sure I will figure it out with a bit more practice.
I was unsure if i wanted to buy a bigger heli, but now im pretty sure that I will
Not yet but maybe in another couple of months when the weather is better.
Anyway.. there isnt really any point in this thread I just posted it as im happy with phoenix. Its just a shame that they dont provide much advise for beginners about what settings do what and how to setup your transmitter properly as ive wasted a few weeks with the wrong settings. As ive never flown anything other than my 4#3B I didnt know any better.
