ok, BlueMinMe, my results so far is that my 1900mAh Li-ion takes almost exactly 1 hour 15 minutes to charge, stays ambient temp 100%, even even 'testing'(gliding) my bird, so thats cool. I 'think' you can use the cahrger to see if the battery is charged by not plugging it in the wall, and justplug the batt in, the LED should go GREEN. (good). . not that it would mean it's *full* or anything, just that there's still a charge left in it, ***I am no expert on these, rather REAL new to lipo/li-ions*** just fyi After getting the travel I want, with near zero collective just below 1/2 throttle, I switch off #8 DIP. Knob does nothing now. . (i dont know if this helps/follows, but i am trying to learn what all is about the PLT and PZT knobs your talking about as well) When switch#8 is OFF, your suppose to make both your Knob setting/adjustments to your feel.. when done, switch#8 back ON(or LOCK) when #8 is in LOCK/ON position, it disables the knobs completely, thus keeping from any changes while in flight,etc. I am curious as to the 'proper' setting of these DIP's, I noticed one of mine was put in ACRO/(airplane) mode, which explains wth the thing was trying to Taxi like.. heh(after two mini-crashes i figure this out, broke both my MainBlade Holders, and each "Short Ball Swivel" anyways, here are my setting on back of the TX: 1:OFF (Elevation) 2:ON (Aile) <-- ? 3:OFF (Throttle) 4:ON (Rudder) 5:OFF (Heli/Acro) (set in the 'Heli' position) 6:OFF (Tail C) <-- ? 7:OFF (CCPM/Normal) (set in the CCPM positon) 8:ON (PLT/PZT) UNLOCK/LOCK) (set in the LOCK position) 9:ON (PIT) 0:OFF (Gear) (empty: operates the Switch on my Left Top of TX?) ok, I hope this helps, and I hope I can get some help with udnerstanding what each of these do better.. ? Mainly what is TAIL_C (Tail control?), and if Heli is in same position it is controled via Heli?) should THROTTLE(#3) be off? does that prevent it from hitting "full" upon startup? (no biggie, so long as i get them set right for now And now, thanks BlueMinMe, I am starting to grasp just HOW to use the PLT and PZT knobs to 'trim' the bird . . I can only assume it wasn't tested/configured prior to shipping, although it seems to be working the way it's set up to. Now I just need to set it for Heli. I guess, so noone wastes there time, I'll ask it this way, so as I can understand better.. When i turn the PLT knob to the "-"(negative pitch?) what should that accomplish? the TILT degree of the Blades? \ / like? and when i turn the PZT knob to "+"(positive pitch SIZE?), what should that accomplish? sorry, this may seem elementary, but i just can't get it from what Ive been reading about.. &) All i really know is that PLT = Pitch Length Tilt, and PZT = Pitch siZe Tilt? does that make sense? sorry but the manual is in severe "engrish" especially on the PitchData Page(-9-), ie; "..or may be the lamina nip or make the part of the lamina nip are laid back you only need to adjust careful.... come'again?? hehe Heres something I think I can use: it has a 'square chart' showing the PitchData (thank god for pictures eh!): Throttle Stick | Throttle fixed supposidly | Pitch adjustice supposidly -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 100% | 100% | +9o - +11o (degrees) 50% | 65% | +6o - +7o (degrees) 0% | 0% | 0o (degrees) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- that kinda gives me an idea. . ? I would adjust the knobs to show between the +9 - +11 for 100% throttle stick to produce 100% throttle(thrust)? and between +6o - +7o for 50% throttle stick to prodice 65% throtle (thrust)? for 0% (throttle all the way Down) to give 0% throttle_thrust, knobs get set stright-up at "0o degrees" (middle | ) Is that close? heh, this bird really show s alot* of potential, and is worth getting to know first off, Ive already made a (somewhat) makeshift repair becasue of not having/knowing how to check this stuff, but it's all for the better.. live, learn, and pass-it-on. i guess. Ok, well thanks again for your time and patients, truly appreciate it! Cheers, X1705
