    @jockstrap @sprog @ ripcurlsurf seeing as our club's heli members have doubled overnight we will have our own padded cell to talk shiz in there will be a few new dudes joining this thread over the next few days.

    By the way we need to name the heli strip.

      Np Dude.. As Feral says - just go easy for a few flights..
      He can help show you how to change the feel and cyclic gains on the PC for you if you need to..

      When ready - move the cyclic servo balls in on the arms and then re-do the setup, will help with resolution on the gyro..

      The "style" will make it more snappy but the "agility" will make it quicker..

      The "gyro Gain" for the cyclic (not the tail) can also be increased to make the head more snappy - just like increasing the tail gain does.. but lower it once/if the head starts to wobbly and only increase a few percent (say about 2-3%) at a time..

      So say if it gets a aileron wobble drop it down

      You'll get cyclic wobble on stops n shiz from the low servo res we need to move the balls in on the servo arms

      Is that something we can do out at the field
       
    16. jockstrap

      jockstrap Active Member

      yep...

      The best way is to put it into a hover and then "flick" the aileron or elevator lever and let the spring return it to center real quick and thus give it a hard stop - if the ail or elev wobbles at the stop then lower the cyclic gain a few percent till it just stops - then you should have jsut about perfect cyclic gain.

      better if you change all 3 of the balls at home and then bring to the field just for the PC setup - much quicker that way.

      Fly it for now and change on the night before you come to the field..

      up to you - you maybe can fly it till friday and change then - unless Feral can help you on the PC before the weekend, not sure.. but it's up to you..

      Ill change em at home and probably give it a few more hovers and then change settings at the field so I dont frack that up
