Status: offline 		hehe trying to picture that one...i have hit it in the kitchen and it was a mad scramble to get back to normal but i am trying to figure out how you hit it with your leg???
so i came home from work had a little daylight left thought i would practice more...everything was going not too bad did not crash just a couple not so soft landings but all were on the skids...then i took it up about 4 feet and my neighbors shed decided to jump out and whack my heli...the nerve...was a dumb place to put a shed right in front of the heli!? after that it was getting too dark and i ended it...wife thought it was too cool hitting the side of the shed...anyone wanna trade a wife for some spare parts? (hehe just kidding...maybe) but she does buy me more parts so i guess i will keep her...too bad though because it kinda felt like things were starting to click...maybe tomorrow

Status: offline 		I was sitting in a lawn chair, and had the TX on my lap, but with my hands underneath it. I had it angled down so the antennae was pointing towards the floor. In that position, the IU switch rests gently on my leg.

One day, I was coming in for a landing, and just as the skids touched the floor, I must have moved just right, and my leg pushed the IU switch forward. My BCP did the funky chicken dance for several seconds until I turned the TX off. It was only after this that I realized what had happened

I no longer fly with the TX sitting on my lap... I was planning to mod the TX so I could arm and disarm the IU switch at will, but just haven't ever gotten around to it. Maybe I will do it one of these days...

Status: offline 		Ct420 know this: It is IMMORAL to fly a heli sitting down. Just a JOKE, son! Maybe you need a TREX to break you out of this complacency

Status: offline 		i have a question concerning the throttle trim...if i am setting the proportional with the trim all the way up, then when i am flying or hovering should the trim always be put back to full? if it is set this way then running with anything other than full would make it no longer adjusted...would it not. please help me to understand . i love this thread and i am new to helis. just bought a blade pro.

Status: offline 		All I do is hover right now and a bit of slow FF and I always run my throttle trim right to the top so that I have a little more left stick travel.

All you can really do is try run it all down and all up and see what the diff is. You cant hurt anything by doing that.

Status: offline 		yeah i seem to be leaning more to the trim all the way up as well. it seems to give you alot more left stick...that way i have more stick to get into trouble with but the hoevring was coming along better until i broke the main frame...now it is a bunch of parts on my kitchen table...thank you school of bdavidson!

Status: offline 		On a different subject, does anyone have any experience with the Precision CNC Rotor Head produced by Microheli? The rotor head looks fantastic and incorporates the Bell Hiller Mixer and the machined swash plate. I found it through Horizon Hobby at: http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdId=MHECP002HS3

I hate to upgrade to the E-Flite machined swash plate and Bell Hiller Mixer and then spend more money later on this rotor head.

Thanks

Status: offline 		you may have the wires switched. check the rotation of the blades. the main rotor should be going clockwise and the tail rotor should be going counter clockwise.

it pays to mark which lead is to which motor.
The channel assignments are for the Spektrum hack.

Status: offline 		Tommy, tail rotor blade needs to rotate upward into the downwash of the rotor. (clockwise, when viewed from the rotor side)

Status: offline 		ok this is my wiring for the motor and from this view the tail rotor is going clockwise but at 50% throttle to 3/4 throttle i am not even feeling wind on my had or pull or push which i should.

so some i am missing or not doing correctly to get this heli to lift off.

Status: offline 		just looking at the pic on the right the pitch seems to be downward by several degrees. is this a rebuild from a crash? did your heli just start doing this? did you unplug any of the servos from your 4 in 1? if you did you may want to check the sevros as per your manual and check on all the connections. also check your pitch.
