Sounds Awesome Crash. I know I enjoy outdoors much more than in, but think I maybe a bit overconfident with the added space outdoors. And it sounds like a G90 HH Gyro might help with holding the tail better

Another Disaster:

Got my back-up CP all put together, flew great for 2 battery packs, 3 pack had a hard landing, nothing out of the ordinary hard landing.

Broken tail boom, two places, bent fly bar... I'm so mad, I could spit... I just spent an hour getting it all together and BLAM.

The CX2, like your's Lookyj, I only get 3 to 4 minutes of flight on it... That sucker, trust me, is going in the garbage, I don't want to invest anymore money in it.... Done it before....GARBAGE

I'm going to do the build on my project, brushless, gyro, dd tail. That's it. Any more disasters, I'm gonna "let it go" for awhile. Getting reallll frustrated.

Don't let my catastrophies get YOU down, just having a hard go right now....

Dave...Had the same happen about two weeks ago...less the flybar. Remember I ordered 3 tail booms for like a buck and change each. The Esky's are exactly the same and don't cost $4 ea. Don't want to sound condensending but take the advice you given others (especially me with my problems and it helps), step back for a while...even the CX.Hang in there guy.

Crashcrash,

Your right, I'm just so flipping mad now... I try so hard and everything turned to $hit. You know, I have a military background, I'll get over it I'm sure. USAF "Can DO". Did it before, just soooo, frustrating at times.

Thanks for the Boost,

Disregard, Crash already pointed this out...


Lookyj,
You still have your elev and pitch servos reversed. The back servo that is on the other side of the boom from your tail rotor blade should be plugged into the Aileron Channel on the receiver. The servo on the same side as the tail rotor blade is the pitch. Swapping these will fix your problems.

quote:


Connect the servo wires to receiver AR6100 as follows:

AUX1 - Right Rear Servo*
GEAR - <empty>
RUDD - Rudder
ELEV - Front Servo*
AILE - Left Rear Servo*
THRO - Throttle

*Left and Right Rear servos are based on the orientation of the helicopter placed in front of you with the nose pointing forward (away from you), and the tail facing back (towards you).

crash,

yes, thanks!

I just hovered through a pack with the AR6100 and DX7... damn MURPHY!

I think my tail motor is going....

Here's how I connected the servo wires to the AR6100,

*note after the costly "learning curve" with the programming and my Blinged Blade....

I've gone back to the basics:

This set up is for a stock Blade CP Pro 3in1 with AR6100 (RX), and DX7 (TX)!
No Gyro's or Brushless ESC's!

outtamyway,

I love to know some of your curve programming for the DX7!

outtamyway,

I love to know some of your curve programming for the DX7!

We would have to extrapolate the extra curve points because I am using a DX6. I am using a 4100kv brushless with a 10t pinion...

PLN 48, P2N 75, PHN 100
PLS 0, P2S 50, PHS 100

TLN 0, T2N 75, THN 100
TLS 100, T2S, 75 ( These could be reversed. I get confused...)

I don't know what my exact head speed is, but it is "up there" in the danger zone I'm sure.

I'm glad you got it figured out! Your next setup should be a breeze.

Blade CP Pro with AR6100, and DX7

Step 1)
Connect the servo wires to receiver AR6100 as follows:

AUX1 - Right Rear Servo*
GEAR - <empty>
RUDD - Rudder
ELEV - Front Servo*
AILE - Left Rear Servo*
THRO - Throttle

*Left and Right Rear servos are based on the orientation of the helicopter placed in front of you with the nose pointing forward (away from you), and the tail facing back (towards you).

Step 2)
Create model in DX7:

While powering up DX7 hold down Scroll and Select buttons to enter “Model Select Mode”

Set initial settings for model in DX7…

[SWASH TYPE]
3 SERVOS, 120*

[INPUT SELECT]
AUX2 = INH
GEAR = INH

[THRO RECOVERY]
INH

[TRAINER]

[TYPE SELECT]
HELI

[MODEL NAME]
enter a name for your model like BCP Pro

power down DX7.

Step 3)
Bind AR6100 to DX7

Plug bind plug into BATT connection on AR6100

Power up DX7 make sure correct model is selected, power back down DX7.

Remove motor connections from BCPP 3in1

Power up RX by plugging battery into JST connector

AR6100 should have a fast blinking amber light

Now power up DX7 while holding bind button on back of transmitter.

The AR6100 should go through it’s bind process,

Everything is ready when AR6100 is solid amber light and 3in1 is solid green light.

Powerdown AR6100 by unplugging battery

Turn off DX7.

Step 4)
REMOVE BIND PLUG FROM BATT CONNECTION ON AR6100!!!

Step 5)
Program DX7

Turn on the DX7 and enter programming mode for the current model by pressing SCROLL and SELECT buttons

*varies from model to model… use these to level your servo arms, a large number in either direction may best be leveled from servo link push rod.

Step 6)

Power up Heli and check for correct control of the servos,

see pages 16-18 in the manual.

“Position the helicopter to view it from the left or right side. Move the left-hand stick up and down to check the collective pitch control. When the stick is pushed up, the swashplate should lower, increasing the pitch of the main blades.

With the stick pulled back down, the swashplate should raise, decreasing the pitch of the main blades.

Again viewing the helicopter from the left or right side, move the right-hand stick forward and aft to check elevator pitch control. When the stick is pushed forward, the swashplate should also tilt forward. With the stick pulled back, the swashplate will tilt toward the rear.

While viewing the helicopter from the rear (tail boom toward you), move the right-hand stick left and right to check aileron roll control. When the stick is pushed to the left, the swashplate should also tilt left. With the stick pushed right, the swashplate will tilt to the right.”

Step 7)

Plug in main and rotor motors, power back up and FLY!

Will the center hub set and rotor blades from the Esky Honey Bee cp work on my cp? I know many parts are the same but some look a little different, not sure which are compatible.
