Nick,
I am using analog servos. The three on the swash are hs-55's and the tail still has the stock e-flight servo. Yes the ESC will arm,but the settings were intimidating to me is why i changed the thro and pitch to linear. Is that ok to learn with? As far as the horn set up goes he told me to turn the tx on set the thro hold switch to on and scroll down to pitch curve and select hold pos 3 which is at 50% bring the stick up until the two lines were on top of each other then set the horn as close to 90 degrees as possible. Thats what i did (lol not to say my eyes are not a little off) Then he set the sub trims for me. Does this get the same result as your way? All of the trims on the front of the remote are still at center and seems to fly or at least hover good. well it did untill i developed turrets of the thumbs again today and flew it straight into the ground.[] In no way was it the fault of anything but lack of concentration.
