Dave ~

Thanks for the description if 'Linear'... I had it wrong I believe... Yes I still have lots to learn with setting up the TX with the Trex... I have done some experimenting with it, and just found somewhere in which I think was o.k.... But could be wrong... I just do a lot of toying with it, and experimenting in different conditions like the wind or whatever...

Here is what I have been flying the Trex with for the last 5 months or so, which is below.... If you ask me what the pitch gauge says, I'll tell you blushing, that I wouldn't know... I have an Align pitch gauge I bought a year ago, and put it up to the blades once...LMAO.. I set my pitch by eye, getting also the tracking good, with low stick making the blades slightly negative. Now, I may have to re-think this part of my set-up as I think it could be wrong, or that I'am running maybe a lower head speed than I thought I was... I like the higher speeds for flying, as I feel like I have better control on my Trex which weighs 860 grams. I'am currently working on lowering the weight as it seems still heavy. There is of course, no mid-stick 0 pitch set-up on my Trex, nor either of my CPP's... But I do only fly in idle 2 for better control of the tail, and flying outside... Maybe that's why I liked the idle 2, is because it was the appropriate head-speed, but everything below that was to low and set wrong !

Throttle curve for normal mode is set like this (Don't laugh if its wrong...LMAO..!)

point 1 = 65.5 %

point 2 = 80.0 %

point 3 = 90.0 %

point 4 = 100.0 %



Curves for idle 1 (St-1)


point 1 = 70.0 %

point 2 = 86.0 %

point 3 = 92.0 %

point 4 = 100.0 %


Curvse for idle 2 (st-2)


point 1 = 77.0 %

point 2 = 88.0 %

point 3 = 93.0 %

point 4 = 100.0 %



Now the pitch curves are set to this... And remember, no mid-stick 0 degrees of pitch...

Normal mode:


point 1 = 15.0 %

point 2 = 25.0 %

point 3 = 55.0 %

point 4 = 100.0 %


Pitch for idle 1:


point 1 = 15.0 %

point 2 = 25.0 %

point 3 = 55.0 %

point 4 = 100.0 %


Pitch curves for idle 2:

point 1 = 15.0 %

point 2 = 25.0 %

point 3 = 55.0 %

point 4 = 100.0 %


I can't currently remember where the heli gets light on the skids in relation to the stick position, but I know its past the halfway mark, and think it may be at 65 % in which it gets light for take-off... Its currently disassembled, as I'am making it lighter... I've lost 24 grams so far, and still await the arrival of another Microheli head for it... I think I may be starting to understand this whole mess a little better, and can't wait to try harder in figuring it out... Finless lays this out very simple, but now I need to strap myself down not get so impatient, and watch the videos again, only now because I'am down the road of forward flight, and feel its now important to have the heli set-up the right way because if something were to go wrong flying about the way I have been, and my reaction would be to save the ship in my experiences with the simulator, I may not get the 'action-reaction' that I wanted....!

Vapor time....! Gotta go ! Doing a flight in honor of Vic...Lol..[8D]


Take care,
