Default RE: axe cp thread

I'm just about to find out!

When I'm done, I'll post the 'recipe' for programming the DX6 for use with the Axe.

I went through another couple dry runs and made final tweaks on the mechanicals. I then put the icing on the cake with Sub-Trims to get the control arms exactly level at zero collective.

I then put a few turns here and there on the control rods so the swashplate appears perfectly flat and level at Zero Collective, and the sticks are dead-centered.

Whew!

Yeah I have the stock servos here and they appear similar but I have heard several reports on other boards that say when you are hovering, then apply some cyclic, the slop in the servos causes a sudden loss of altitude that must be fought with more throttle but then you could go shooting up so... It sounded like something easy to avoid so I splurged...

I will probably splurge next on a GY401 but more research is needed.

For now, its off to the clubhouse for our first sliding and hopping exercises!
