hovering
 
ok, after trying to hover my rex for 4 days now... i end up wit a broken landing gear and a couple teeths on the main gear chipped off... i am happy and thankful that i havent totalled it, mostly just hard landings

im reeallyy about had it now but im determined to get it right... i cant get this bird to hover somewhat stable...

if anyone is in the bayarea, please hollar at me if ya can take a look at my setup... it would be nice to see an experienced pilot fly my bird and assurance that i jus suck at flying and not completly my setup itself

Pay strick attention to the directions of the cyclic and the boom and trim accordingly...when it gets wild, cutt the power fast...try to hover inches off the ground and be ready to chop power,
Know anyone with a simulator?? Try it, they do help!

ive been playin wit reaflight G2... im actually pretty good at flying in the sim, its like im a pro at the sim but when it comes to the heli, i cant fly to save my life...

now if my heli would just fly like the heli's in the sim i would be soooo happy...

my rex is mechanically correct and the transmitter is proggrammed correctly wit the heli.. all of my stick movements on the transmitter is workin properly and i always center the servos before each flight..

your heli is NOT dialed in. trust me that once it's dialed in, it is EASIER to fly than the sim. just because the transmitter is programmed right and the servos move accordingly isnt enough. there's MUCH MUCH more to a proper setup. i know it's hard because you have no definition of 'properly' setup. this is the hardest thing to learn.

if only you were local, i could prove this lol...
