RE: axe cp thread
Attention children!!! I have found the solution to taming the big hairy beast known to us all as the AxeCP!!!!!! Being an RTF means that corners get cut to save money on the end product. This is one robust heli however look at the radio.... hmmm a very basic radio with some eCCPM firmaware built into it.
Lets take my experience for example: I got a TRex and installed the AxeCP radio with my old Piccolo receiver. While running the Axe radio I noticed that the TRex was extremely responsive to the point of barely being able to control it. In fact it felt like a really big AxeCP!!!!
So I go out and bankrupt myself on a DX6. Used the settings called out in the TRex manual and guess what? The TRex screamed and flew all over the place. Dumbed down the throttle and pitch curves and added some expo to the aileron and elevator to soften them up and now I can hover the TRex within 10" off the ground without much of a hassle!!!! Try hovering the Axe with the stock radio anwhere withing 2 feet of the ground and trust me that you are in for a fight!!
Now I wish I still had my AxeCP just so I can set up the DX6 to fly it. I bet that a stock AxeCP would be a dream to fly with a DX6 or Futaba 6EXH even using the stock 3-in-1 as opposed to a separate gyro!!!
In short, the cure for an Axe wound? A better radio.
