I have yet to fly this thing but, rest assured I have done some research.

I'm a NOOB to DX's so I had to study up on those.

Basically I'm all set up electronically...have to set head level and pitch.

Status: offline 		I flew my first RC helicopter yesterday. It is the new V2 Trex. Everything went well except I needed to have the pitch/throttle stick almost to the top end to get the heli to lift off. The throttle curve was set at 0, 50, 85, 95 100. The pitch was -2 to +11 (pitch curve 35, 42, 50, 75, 100). The real mechanical pitch setting was -11 to +11. I don’t know why I couldn’t get it to take off at closer to middle stick. Everything else worked well (gyro, left-right, forward backward, clockwise counterclockwise turning). Anyway on my third battery charge, I crashed it down hard.

I have two questions. Why was it so hard to get off the ground?

Where can I get spare parts? Heliproz does not have any part in. I need a main shaft, boom, belt, horizontal tail fin, etc...

I can't express how exciting it was to finally fly my first RC heli. The Reflex fight simulator really helped me get some basic moves down.

Status: offline 		Hi the -11 and + 11 is only used when you are in idle 1 or 2 , it sounds to me like you had the heli set at -11 +11 in normal flight mode , this is why your heli came down hard , in normal flight mode you should have the heli set mechanically i fly DX7 so this an example how my pitch is set at , Low -2 , ( 1 )+1.5 ,( 2 ) 0.0 , ( 3 )+ 6 , High +11 how ever if your a newb , i would recommend this settings , Low -2 , ( 1 ) + 2 , ( 2 ) + 5 , ( 3 )+ 6 or + 7 , High +10 or 11 remember you must have pitch gage when you do this , if you don`t know how to use a pitch gage get some help from an experience heli pilot , as far as getting parts try WWW. RC Hover .com they just posted that they got a bunch V2 parts on there web site , hope that helps . Ed

wow day 2 and no crash LOL better not. o pic below

Cooool! I like the DX7. I am using a JR8103 which is fine execpt for the ant. With two new 2.4gig's on the way from JR, plus other vendors coming on line with them, I'll have to make the plung one of these days.

I just came in from my yard and 5 more flights.... just hovering and back and forth stuff. I did have a crash a week or so back when TRex wanted to go into a tree and I was not prepared. It started triming the low hanging leaves and I was a bit agressive in lowering the collective. This was only 4-5 feet off the ground but when I hit the ground, the blade hit the boom and left a dent in the boom, broke a blade, and removed one tooth from the belt. I replaced the belt, which had 60-65 flights, and blade and am back in business.

Happy flying Gamemaker!

Looks nice GM! Same setup w/o CF blades.

That's a nice li-po & charger system. I'm using the Triton Jr. and Equinox balancer
for now. It charges the Align battery in about 45 minutes at 2.5 amps. Pretty flawless
but, I'm still eyeballing those Bantam BC-6 & BC-8 chargers from RC Accessory.
