SUCCESS!!!

Check out the pics!

What we have here is a Helimax dynamic test stand. It allows a couple inches of free movement for the aircraft in complete safety and there it is right in the living room, freakin out the wife!


What I learned

My settings were conservative - at full up stick I could barely lift off. Good!

I made lots of adjustments and came up with a new Throttle and Pitch curve that should allow for a tame platform to learn the hover.

I needed more control Cyclic control throw.

The EXP function helps tremendously, compared with the stock radio.

When I get this all dialed in, I will post all the settings. That should really help the next guy to try this. I thought a bunch you had already converted to DX6, but I guess I am one of few (I doubt the first!).

I have now confirmed that the heli is safe enough to try at the large clubhouse, on the smooth flat floor where I can hop and slide around enough to see if the vehicle is ready to hover! I really don't think it will get away from me!! I will conquer the hover is short order!! BOOYAH!!

Semper fi, carry on!
