i feel like i can get all the trimming how it should be except for the rudder wanting to go left or right and HH doesnt seem to work on it...if I give it throttle quickly it turns to the right or left fast i forget what one.

ok, so i figured out how to get hh on my gyro. Only problem is that i throttle it up and the tail is spaztic, it wiggles really violently and the servo twitches back and forth. I tried changing the delay and i set the limit and it still does it. Any ideas now?

When it wiggels like that it's because the "gain" is set too high. Glad to hear you got her in check.

But I like these and have since been buying from Ebay. For less than $40 you get (2) 11.1v 2200mah 25C lipos and it's free shipping.

Thanks joey, Do you know what the biggest you can fit in the stock battery location is.  I use the stock esky 1800, had a 2200 20c flightmax that got ruined in the crash, and i have two turnigy 3300 30c that i taped to the bottom of the frame and they work pretty well with a good flight time, but i think i would like to get the max size i can but have it still fit in the battery compartment.

Hey everyone,


So after repairing some minor damage and tracking new blades etc. I practiced hovering the other day. I noticed that as soon as I gave it enough throttle to barely lift off the ground it would pull to the left badly. Once I got it in the air it was not as bad but still seemed like it was always wanting to pull to the left side. Any suggestions? I thought I did a good enough job on the blade tracking and all and using the pitch guage but I am still new so maybe I didn't do so well...Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like your swash isn't level and your right link/links are too long. Check your swash in Idle up and see where it's at. If anything just adjust the link so it goes away. It's not a pitch or blades tracking issue.

EgorIt flies! After my first two attempts with my esky belt cp v2 taking off from grass resulting in a tip over and
crash both times, I tried pavement, I also installed a HDX CNC head and tail. Because of the training balls sliding
on the pavement I was able to adjust the trims very close, then it happened, I was airborne, made a few hops then
got up to about 5 feet and it darted strait at my wife, I cut the throttle and it landed hard, I only broke the ties
holding on the training gear, feels great not bringing my heli home in a bag! What a rush. thank's joeyhatch11

I got a new DX7 and can not figure out programming on it.  My heli is back to not flying  If anyone has a DX7 and wants to let me know what their settings are that would be awesome!

Go over to the EFlight Thread and check out the "Wheeeeeeeee Blade CP" thread. Those guys are awsome and will be able to help you with anything you need. There either running DX7's or Futaba 7C's. Great people.

I just flew it again. 2nd time now with the new radio and i think i got it all trimmed out and setup gyro, trim, etc is all good. Now when i get better i will adjust the throttle curve/pitch curve in normal mode. Its pretty tame right now and very stable

I just ordered my Belt CPv2  this is my first real heli I have had a couple of coaxal's but nothing beyond that .I ordered NO spare parts which now I think of it was not wise so I will get on that shortly but I did order tools for adjustments and such. I have read the thread and like what you guys had to say.

Thanks

The main differances are the flybar is 2.0mm rather than 1.8mm this translates into a slightly different see saw and flybar control arms as they have to accomadate the 2.0mm flybar, the canopy, the tail bladecontrol links are also different.
The majority of parts are interchangeable v1 to v2. Tail booms, gear sets, belts, canopys, frame, landing gear, tail gear box, tail boom,etc.
The US Hobby Supplysiteshows parts that are interchangeableon each part page.

Disney1 I still do not have my V1 finished. About this time last year I went from 1/8 scale buggy racing to large scale racing. But I am going to start back working on my V1 hopefully. You sent me all the information about setting up my DX6i for it. I all so replaced the ESC and gyro when I took it out of the box. Good to see you are still around.
