Yeah, I'd sure like to help ya with some inputs for your head-speed, but unfortunately that's my weak area... I don't even have the Trex set-up mid-stick 0 pitch... I have it set-up more like scale I suppose you'd call it... But as a performance buff, and flying it seems in windy conditions, I'am set-up I guess what you would call a linear curve, but really not understanding what "linear" means anyway... But low stick, is a few degrees negative and my throttle curves are high, in return to squeeze as much head speed as I can with the SA motor... If that makes sense...Lol.. In all god to honest truth, its my major down-fall for understanding the set-up with the curves and proper set-up of the swash at mid stick 0 degrees pitch like it should be... I know a lot about the heli's, but for some reason just can't grasp the understanding of this part of my heli.. (Don't tell nobody...Lol..)
It flies great, and for now it works.... When I want to progress into 3-D, I then will have to try and do much more research and watching the Finless videos again, and should be o.k. then I hope... First I need to just get down FF, and then I'll go from there.... The downfall, is I'll have to get used to the heli, being then set-up different from what I was used to..
I'am not even sure, if I'll go the 3-D route... I enjoy these things so much just flying upright, and hopefully just going scale with them all to the extreme some day. Blame Vic for this I suppose, and my lacking in retardation of not grasping the concepts of the set-up of the pitch and curves...
Alright, gotta go...Been busy cleaning up the pit around here... Gotta start slowly getting ready for a return drive home here soon in the next month or so. Still need to get one more heli, before I go... I'am thinking a Trex 450 SE V2, so my parts will be all the same with my Trex 450 SA, or seriously looking at the Trex 500.... But then all new parts, and having to deal with a new bigger type of battery... Most likely in my stage, it will be the V2 as I'am familiar with it, and set-up for it..
Take care,
