shackscs,

I'm not familiar with G2 specifically, but I'd guess that the calibration settings that you posted are the trim settings to center the gimbals. For reversing, there should also be a button for each channel to select either normal or reverse.

The first thing to check when starting to use a sim is the reversing. You can do this by increasing the throttle to get the heli light on the skids, but not lift off (if the throttle stick works correctly, that's one channel you won't have to reverse). With the heli tail-in, move the cyclic and look to see which way the rotors tilt. The disk should tilt in the same direction you move the stick. If not, you will need to reverse the channel that is wrong; aileron, elevator or both. Next move the rudder stick left and right and see which way the nose of the heli moves. It should follow the stick movement ... stick left = nose left.

If all of these are correct, then you will need to check the trims. You adjust these either with the trim levers on the radio, or possibly with the calibration settings that you mentioned (again, I'm not familiar with G2). The first thing to remember is that the heli is not going to come up and sit in one spot until you tell it to move. You will need constant stick inputs to keep it still. However, it shouldn't take off in any one direction every time nor should the nose turn off of its original heading (much). Work with one axis at a time; for instance, adjust the tail first; and get it to hold as close as possible. Then move to the next.

Another thing you might check is to see if you have wind turned on and to what level. It's tough to learn in the 20-30mph gusts that are common at some fields ... like the one I fly at! I'd suggest starting with no wind. You can add it later after you've gotten comfortable with hovering in no wind.

Hope this helps,
Keith
