Tame down Phoenix for beginner?

[Paulig]

Are there any settings to 'tame' down the response of the heli as I learn to fly nose in and side on/circuits? Then gradually turn it up as I get better? Any video tutorials to setting your transmitter for a novice etc?

Choose your model then go to model-->edit model then hit the simple button and move the slider around to suit you. Hth

In settings, slow the realness(can't remember correct name as not got it in front of me) down to 75%, but try not to get used to it there, as soon as you can hover, up the realness again

Thanks guys

Another optiion is to just use the easyfly 50 model which is already setup to be more docile

A question on this. I find that I can hover "the real thing" far better than I can on Phoenix. Phoenix seems far more "sensitive" and I have resorted to taking the realness to 80% to mirror real life. I'm wondering if I have some DX6i settings that is making my real flying less sensitive compared to Phoenix. Any suggestions as to what to be checking?

I find the same thing. Could it be that in the real world, I generally have amounts of expo set for any given model, but in Phoenix, I haven't set any expo. Fundamentally, do people use EXPO in Phoenix!?

In short. nope - not out of the box. Phoenix appears and binds on your controller as another heli, and takes up a memory slot. If you want your align 450 settings, you'll need to copy them into the memory you use for Phoenix.

Paul. I spent some time doing exactly this. 1st off I gave up with anything smaller than 500 just too twitchy. I went right in with a 700. I used the Rex 700e fbl and tweaked to suit from there. I put the slider at the top of edit - physical to 100%. Simulation speed maxed out. Then changed the weight to 8.0kg.

Then keep adjusting the dual rates down till the roll and flip rate match. For me I think I had 70 on ail and 64 on elev. also slow the piro rate down till your happy with it. Add expo I have 30 all round here.

If it helps and your going to Phoenix over the weekend I will bring my laptop along so you can have a try for yourself.

+1 on the big birds. I downloaded the TDR model yesterday and tried that - so far, it's the most "real" feeling model I've tried in Phoenix.

Thats what I've been flying since they added it sometime ago. It's really life like when the settings are tweaked. I also find up scaling to 200% is a massive help too.

To you new guys out there, don't bother with the 450's or alike as you will just be chasing your ass all over the place. You will learn more with the big birds.
