chill out guys!
Any help is appreciated but my poor cerebral cortex can't cope with too much info -hey it's hard enough trying to move two little sticks all directions whilst looking at a mechanical bird of doom trying to attack every fragile thing in the house -including me/wife...
That you rusirius (classic name, the irony is not lost on me esp. given the previous posts - very entertaining but a bit over my head) I didn't have much luck with the expo as I changed to a lipo battery and now have a host of all sorts of other problems eg. weight balance, shaking..not me the heli... well I'm shaking too

.
I have figured out where the dual rates are so will bump them up and try some -ve expo once I rebalance the heli and check over everything..
Somebody on these forums tags their name with "you should've told me it was going to be this expensive" -or similar, maybe I should add you should've told me it was going to be this frustrating, but once you've had that first controlled hover... can't stop now.
I guess it's like anything - took the wife fishing for her first time- Cast teh rod out for her, she waited for maybe 10 seconds after giving her the rod and she pulls in a whopper whilst I got nada all day - ha ha.
