How do you fly the v22????

[j_js1]

As the title. and how do I set it up on phoenix? - what controls goes with what?

I can't seem to work out how to fly it! The rotors just seems to go straight into the ground when I start it up - it must be my set up.

First of all go into your TX and and select a free model memory. Do a memory reset.

Now go into phoenix calibration and follow the instructions. Read them carefully it's very clear. Now go to any heli and try and fly it again.

Come back if it still doesn't work with the make and model of your TX.

ok, sorted. Turns out I didnt assign the right channel to "rotor tilt".

It's quite straight forward to fly - got the hang of take off after a few attempts. It's pretty hard to hover it though!

[j_js1]

Am I right assigning cyclic pitch to "rotor tilt"? I mean it flys well in plane mode but it has a constant forward 45 degree tilt meaning it's pretty hard to hover! Is there a switch I'm missing that can change modes i.e. to heli mode and plane mode.

I put the tilt on the flap switch, three positions. Up 45 and flat. Flies like a dog compared to the other planes and helis. It's like the b*st*rd mongrel offspring of a plane and a heli

I quite like the tilt-rotor on Phoenix, it doesn't half sharpen up your hovering! There's something in this months Rotorworld that looks as if it's based on the same idea - could be an interesting little toy. There's not a lot said about it, just a picture from the toy expo in Nuremburg.

Would that be the Gaui one?

No mate, but that's pretty cool! I'll see if I can fire the old scanner up later...

sounds like you have quite a fare bit of trim on gthe forward
thanks best regards liam

Liam, if he's assigned cyclic to rotor tilt then phoenix is interpreting the sprung neutral position as mid-stick (which is exactly what it is) and therfore holding the rotors at their mid throw position of 45degrees. Ideally, assign the rotor tilt to the flap function and that'll get you started. You could get creative with an in-tx throttle/tilt curve though...

ooh, now I do like that one!

Ive been trying to fly this thing for a bit of fun.

The best way I have found is to set a couple of keys to tilt forward and backward.

I can manage to take off vertical and transition into forward flight with the rotors horizontal.
I can just about get it back into a hover but I cant land it, tried about ten times and I cant get it to decend without spinning out of control.

Can any of you guys land it from a hover?

[andylinney]

Yeah, just use LOTS of power during the last bit of deceleration in the transition and plenty of up-elevator to slow it all down and it'll be fine!
