"I"



Hey there rc-jj, yes I have only seen the AXE on Realflight. According to AXE pilots, its pretty close to how the real model responds, which is good news!

I just got done replacing all the stock servos with HS-55 servos I had to remove and reinstall the AR6000 receiver to get all the wires neat again.

I then did a static test and it looked so good I decided for a full power test - while holding the model carefully in one hand!!!

I then used the other hand to check the left stick response - hmmm, not enough revs on liftoff...

I shut down and upped the throttle curve and tried again - NICE!!!

I then set the left stick at about 70% up and checked out the right stick. Hmmm, she needs slight control arm adjustments to correct a serious down elevator and right cyclic pull - but I was able to compensate with the stick and I believe I got her into a nice hover while secured in my hand.

Tomorrow I will do the final control arm tweaks and then see if the large Club house is available for some hopping and sliding runs If it feels right and I have the confidence I'll attempt a hover, but not until I am confident with the sliding and hopping...
