Hi Fellas,

Real quickly, it's running late and almost time for bed.

I love to experiment, and wasn't overly thrilled with flying in the house. The heli seemed a little irratic when flying in NORMAL mode, with a DX6i and the settings in the manual for throttle and pitch curves. So, for the fun of it, I changed the pitch curves to 30, 40, 40, 40, 40. The heli flys much better and hovers even better yet. Similar to a fixed pitch heli.

Of course you can adjust the 40 to any setting you like. I tried 40 first, but I'll probably try others tomorrow.

Hi Dave,

That is an interesting pitch curve, I guess it is Fixed pitch..

My helis would not even lift off the ground with the pitch at 40%, that is Does your radio go from -100 to + 100 or from 0 to 100?

Mine at 40% would be about 4 degrees of negative pitch.. have you adjusted the linkages?

PS.. LOL.. I thought I was going crazy as I'm sure I had replied to this post.. but just realised it was a different thread.. Doh!
