RE: HELICOMMAND => Difficulty to setup for TRex450

Thanks guys!

I don't have huge throws on my swash, they're set at (in the AFR) 40% for both Elev and Aileron. Max pitch on this one is +9 degrees

My Expo settings are -16% (Futaba) on Elev and Aileron.

On this SE (in the vid) I have a 220mm flybar rod with 2 weights on each side and Align's heaviest paddles offered. That whole combination and settings keep the heli tame.

I have 2 other SE's that are set up differently... I can flip them over in a 10 foot area, but they're a bear to hover smooth, especially after being jacked-up on coffee

.

Andrew, watched your vid, you fly smooth enough w/o HeliCommand... It looks great!

As for me flying far away (in the vid), it always seems real far away in any video, but I DO go too far away at times. When I get out too far I focus my trust on my last stick position and attitude of the heli and fight the urge to NOT freak out... when it comes back into 'view', my breathing returns to normal!
