Here is a link to my first heli video. I had my dad come with me the other day and I asked him to bring his camera. I played a little with a movie editor on my computer and here is the result:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNjpnI0bG-I

This is just me flying my T-Rex 450 se v2 around. I just started doing some really basic 3d stuff a few weeks ago and I'm still practicing loops, rolls, flips, inverted hover. So far so good! At least, my knees aren't shaking anymore every time my heli goes inverted

Here is my setup:

- Align T-Rex 450 SE v2
- Align stock motor & esc
- HS65 cyclic servos
- GY401 gyro + 9650 tail servo
- Align 325mm Pro wood blades
- Air Thunder 2200mAh 25C lipo
- DX7 tx & AR7000 rx

I hope you guys enjoy!

Feel free to let me know what you think of my flying so far.

Status: offline 		Nice flying there Mathieu ,very smooth also just the way I like it.
I'm getting there too got the loops done finally so Now I'm ok for pirouettes, stall turns single,double and triples,target landings and very smooth flying too since I also fly my 222 scale.

Lost my T-Rex in extream sunden wind yesterday but very little damage and its already repaired

Next will be rolls

continue comme ca Mathieu ca promet

Great vid was all that done with Idle up or basic modes? i can currently do what you are doing but on Sim only ive asked a question about Idle up but not really got an answer yet. This could answer my question

Thanks

Status: offline 		Here is what I have for settings on my DX7

I do loops and flips with no problems in my normal mode.
Not much difference in normal and ST1 for me.

Normal: Pitch L=0 1=35.5 2=67 3=82 H=100
ST1: Pitch L=0 1=50.5 2=82.5 3=96.5 H=100

Normal: Throttle: L=0 1=46 2=70 3=90 H=100
ST1: Throttle L=90 1=46.5 2=76 3=90 H=100

clubb699: all what you saw in the video was in idle-up. My ST1 pitch curve is set to -9, 0, +9. You cant really do 3d stuff in normal mode. It's possible to do some loops in normal mode, but if you ever get in trouble, you definitly want to have negative picth so you can get out of trouble even if inverted.
