It will never rise perfectly vertically, but you can get damn close! : ) Try lifting off while holding the cyclical stick slightly to the right, it will seem to tip right but as you get into the air it will all balance out and you are back at center stick hovering! KEEP PRACTICING and GOOD LUCK!

Any idea what the extra links are for and how they hook up? I've heard they're an improvement but don't understand how they would be set up.

Status: offline 		Sorry, I don’t know about the bell mixer. I don’t actually have them installed on my heli.



Also off topic,
The T-REX 450 is awesome from what I can tell. I have only seen how it can be flown; you can see some amazing stunts here:

http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/article_display.cfm?article_id=600

the videos are simply amazing!

and as far as the internet support for these things goes... well its great.
the BCP seems to have no one interested in sharing their little flight secrets (with this forum as the exception)

but the T-REX has many sites with lots of information.

one being:
http://www.trextuning.com/

and a good review at: http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/article_display.cfm?article_id=572

sorry if its a bit off topic but yea.. its awesome. I am seriously considering this as my next heli. I want to build it, and I want to fly it!

also brushless is just DAMN cool!

Status: offline 		I have exactly the same problem as you. As long as tail is facing me, I am OK. I can fly forever. However as soon as I attempt to turn the heli sideways, it would usually result in a crash. soo frustrating.

Most people struggle with control in anything other than tail in. Only takes a minor mistake going the wrong way and not be able to save it. Keep practicing and soon it'll just click. I just keep practicing on the sim and then realize I'm actually doing it. I had a couple major saves this weekend and didn't even realize what I had done until I brought it down safely. Also wasn't so lucky a couple times and snapped the boom support off twice. Ca'd it back together and put it back up. That was the only damage all weekend, so I must be improving. I think the biggest key for me was to learn it only takes a tiny bit of stick to make a huge move. My initial tendancy was if I made a bad move to overcompensate and make a worse move until I was out of control. Another thing I had to overcome was thinking if I kept close to the ground I could bring it down and save it. More throttle, more air, more time to recover, good. Less throttle, ground rises into chopper quickly, bad.

Status: offline 		i have been following these steps as far as tracking and everything. i have gotten pretty good at the sim that i got. so i tried flying my blade a few hours ago. it seems that the tail wants to spin the one side. i tried adusting the trim for the tail motor. but i can tell if that helped or not. any help on what to do next?

Status: offline 		has anyone tryed using 3 hitec hs-55 or even better some hs-56 servos on a blade cp? thinking a better servo with more power and better centering might make the ol blade a little better flyer? also is there a way to install a heading hold gyro and still use the original 4 in 1?

Status: offline 		Okay. So i got a new set of blades for my , ur, Blade.

The thing is now, with two different batteries, (one of which I know had been overcharged at one point by the previous owner), my heli flies like crap.
And Im not talking baout how bad I fly.

When it's just hovering, at maybe half throttle, it will just drop about 4 feet or so, then take back off again, kind of slowly.
Also, it seems that adding some right stick to the left, makes my motor slow down audibly.

Is it the :batteries? 4in1? Motor? I could really use some help here
(I just changed to the spare motor I had, because the thing between the wires lit on fire during a flight.)
