Optimal settings!!

[golddust]

OK, so I can fly about and stay inverted for, well, several seconds at least, mostly! I was wondering if anyone has any suggested settings etc for the 450SE ? Collective etc. As an beginner I really have no idea about settings.

Cheers

If you are flying inverted you should look at the follwing setup as a starting point. Don't overcomplicate it and be careful with the overall amount of pitch you start with.

For wood blades:
Throttle Curve
Normal 0 70 70 70 70
Idle Up 70 70 70 70 70
Pitch Curve linear 0 25 50 75 100

Carbon Blades:
Throttle Curve
Normal 0 100 100 100 100
Idle Up 100 100 100 100 100
Pitch Curve linear 0 25 50 75 100

Swash Mix
Then in the swash mix set the pitch mix to the amount of pitch you want to run. If you have pitch guages that will help. I'd start of at +/- 8degrees and go from there.

Make sure that at midstick you are definitely 0 degrees and you ge the same amount of positive and negative pitch.

Think I will print that out for reference.

Oh and fly over long grass

yuo might want to have 70-80% on normal and idleup 1 and 100% on idleup 2 - That might give you a bit more flight time!

Little bit of confusion here, I think. I was hoping for a little help with the settings in the Phoenix program. Or the settings for the DX6.

The only changes from default I have made is on the phoenix to 98% stability for the Trex450SE.

Should I edit heli from default settings?

OK, seem to be managing fine on Phoenix now. Can fly around to my hearts content. So the question is - with my favourites being the T Rex 450 & 600 - should i edit from default settings. Things like cyclic response, pitch, blade size etc. Mainly to make things a little more realistic, or are the settings about as close as need be? Not having a heli flying as yet, it's a tad difficult for me to make comparisions

Cheers all
