Status: online 		you want a linear pitch curve in idle up and %35-%40 for your lowest setting in normal mode.

at midstick you want 0 pitch in both blade,s after setting the swash up level

when i get home i have a link and will post it on how to set up a dx6 which is close enough to get you flying

Status: offline 		hey SR. do you have the settings on the dx6 for the BH450. on my bh in normal mode it flys awesome. but in idle up mode the tail is wagging. not sure why to begin fixing this issue. is it something with the tx i have to adjust? or the gyro? didn't think it was gyro because its fine in normal. i know it has something to do with my dx6.

Status: online 		that is vibration and or slop in the tail linkage issue and i have a 450se that does it to. has nothing to do with the TX or gyro.

same gyro and settings on a new heli and its all perfect and no wagging.

i replaced main bearings and tail bearings and a new pinion gear, then fixed some slop in the tail linkage and stopped most of it.

heres some good base settings http://www.digimemphoto.com/guides/backguide.htm

Status: offline 		One pack on the 450 testing after repair. Its got a slight head wobble so am changing the main shaft. Finsihed the 500 radio setup just before dark so I could not resist to spooling it up. Awesome machine! Just a one minute hover only six inches high because the light was fading fast. This is going to be a fun heli! I am so addicted that I am already looking at the 600. I just cant decide between the nitro or the electric. Leaning to nitro. LOL

Status: online 		1 pack today on my HBFP. Painted some white out on my blades for the first time so I can actually see what they are doing. Very disorientating lol! I don't know if it was the paint on the blades or if there is some other electrical/mechanical problem going on here but I could barely keep it under control in light wind. Also, the plastic piece on my stock landing bar became separated from the main horizontal metal bar. Looks like it was glued on and I think this happened because I attached my anti crash kit incorrectly causing it to pull.

Status: offline 		First thing this am I put a battery in the V2 after going through the head setup to increase the amount of pitch and installing a new servo on the ail. It flew perfect. I played with circles and bailed out of a figure eight twice. Second battery I guess I flew to long. As I was landing it reduced head speed, then quickly just layed over on its side from four feet high and fell out of control into the dirt breaking another freaking servo. I am loosing confidance in staying in control. I am considering a new ESC. Not sure about which one , need to research it. Head speed drops during the flight after reducing throd, and shoots back up at times.

Flew the 500 this afternoon twice. Wind was 15 and gusty and it was no trouble really. Stayed basic with FF, side in hover and spot landings. Side in hover is giving me fits, I will practice that more on the sim. Funny though, after flying the 500, I am a LOT more relaxed with the V2. I really like the 500. So much so that I have put my 600 plans on back burner. I will spend that money on upgrades for the 500 and MORE battery's. So far I am just using the Kong 2500 that I use in the V2. I have the timer on 5 minutes. What a heli! Really fun, love the sound, easy to see.
