well i figured that it would have to do with gyros or something but do you think it will affect the flight characteristics in a bad way?

I think I might have an idea what you are talking about. Are you talking about incorporating the moving, horizontal tail fin on the rear of the full size Black Hawk that helps to stabilize it during low altitude manuevers and hovering? If I am right, maybe someone else can provide the answer you need because I really have no idea how it could be done automatically. If I am wrong then I apologize.

I just bought the Helicommand Rigid for the Vario Large 500E and tested it out a little. At 550, which I paid 495 with my bulk order, it's a steal. I'm running 5 blades on the 500. The 611 is $400 and it only stabilizes the tail the Helicommand does all 3 axis and I can run any tail servo. I currently have the new coreless Hitec 7965MG servo rated @ 6v, 139oz, .10sec. There are other items available that work just as good but I really like the features of the Helicommand.

yep tried telling the guy.

the confusion here is the use of the word "stabilizer" by redbarron, what he means is stabilator. the movable surface at the rear of the heli. that is quite easy to do especially since it only moves to the level position on the real thng above 30 knots or so. therefore you only need it hanging in the down position during the hover. i slaved mine to the stunt switch so while in the hover i am in normal mode and as i start my climbout, i switch to stunt one position and it comes up to the level position. as far as effects in flight, it will affect it a little but not much because youarent flying the heli fast enough to make it do much.
anyway you need not buy any additional equipment except for a servo to operate the stabilator, but you plug it into a spare channel and use the radio's mixing capability. this of course means you need a radio that has free mixing and enough chanels to do this.

I have to agree with emile Sheriff.... just set it up on a switch of program it in the mixing menu... be very careful though, if you drop the stab during FFF you will see why they used to be called lawn darts. if you have any questions about the stab system of need pics let me know... i work/fly on them all day long....
