Controlling the blade 400 - basics

[libbykarl]

Just installed and when throttle down heli lifts off ground but then power cuts

Presumably something I am doing wrong!

Ideas?

Sounds like a servo is reversed but as they come "ready to fly" I don't know how that has happened..

Karl did you get a blade 400 aswell as the cx2 ?
OR
Are you trying to fly the 400 on phoenix ?

On the Simulator guys, sorry, why i posted here

[Tim Procter]

You have centered all sticks when calibrating havent you..

[libbykarl]

sure i did, the circle multiple times and then up and down them was little tricky

[Boggy]

what tx are you using karl cx2???

if so follow this http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/showthread.php?t=9105

[libbykarl]

yep cx2 one, set up and much better. down throttle lifts now just like real thing

also controls for the blade 400 and honeybee are working, whoaaaaaah they are much more sensitive!

can fly the cx2 pretty well, will move onto nose in and tail in hovering next

have you downloaded the latest 1.05e version of phoenix and all of the scenes and models. if you have i'll see you on phoenix multiplayer.

Ron, followed this and are you sure invert throttle is right for flying the blade cx2? Doesnt this make throttle down make the heli go up? Sorry if I am wrong here

i have a cross in throttle ,collective and cyclic karl.
but you may have somthing here because i converted my controller from mode1 to mode two!

left stick down should be no throttle //up should be full throttle!! set yours accordingly sorry for any confusion!

[libbykarl]

Cool, guess people will have diff setups

Even managed a quick flight on the sim with the Blade 400 - which was, well, exciting. Short lived but exciting!

All the 3D copters on Phoenix seem hard, but at least I can sort of get the Blade 400 in a given area for a while now, and land 2 out of 3 times.
