RE: anyone use cp pro gyro on a trex?

theecoop, I see that you are "still not hovering" and you didn't mention a simulator.

If you don't have a sim, I highly recommend one. The amount of money one could save you is enormous. ...

RE: Official T-rex 450 XL SE Thread

Krisnz, I am not familiar with your radio, but.....

It is common that when you go into idle up, basically all of your radio setting need to be reset for that condtion. So, if you run remote...

RE: Need help Phoenix 35 ESC setup

It seems most people (including the ones with the most experience) are flying fixed throttle, and just using throtlle curve programming in their radio to get what they want.

That is working well...

RE: Nearly had a bad one today

ct420, the wires must be hand soldered, as they don't go through the board.

One wire just wasn't done right.

Nearly had a bad one today

I started getting really bad 'jitters' in flight this morning.

I was barely able to get it recovered. But I was fortunate and got it back with zero damage.

When I checked the servos,...

RE: Need help Phoenix 35 ESC setup

Tolla, it sounds as though you might be running 'auto calibrate' on throttle. (Setting 4). On that setting, run ANYTHING but option 1 with a Heli.

RE: Need help Phoenix 35 ESC setup

Did you reverse the throttle servo channel? It is required with a futaba TX and the CC ESCs (and nearly all ESCs for that matter).

My Pheonix 35 works great with the stock ATVs on that channel....

Where are you getting the switches that will carry the current we need?

Have links to where they can be ordered? (the ones you are using)

RE: Official T-rex 450 XL SE Thread

I end every flight with the throttle hold switch as my shut off. As I've gotten used to that, I am pretty fast at using that to kill the throttle in a crash.

RE: First loop can't contain myself!!

I am finding flips easier than rolls from some reason.

I started with the rolls first, but back flips are easy to hold position on and get the timing right of the collective movement. Maybe it...

RE: First loop can't contain myself!!

I joined the loop club this morning.

I did 2 kinds of loops and some stationary back flips. All went without any serious pucker factor. It went pretty much just like RealFlight.

I...

RE: A Day with the T-Rex 450SE

Looks like a nice field.... too bad it is so far from me. It does look like a nice place to visit when I am on that side of town, though.

RE: Official T-rex 450 XL SE Thread

Also, I found the heli to be immensely easier to handle in wind if I flew in idle up, rather than normal mode.

RE: First loop can't contain myself!!

I've been flying idle up for most of my flights, and so far, still no loops.

I've been doing stationary rolls, left and right.... but no loops. Guess I need to 'get on the stick' ;).

I got 9 flights on those blades. But..... all of them were after being gone to Alaska for several days, and it was VERY windy for all 9. I never really got 'feel' how they flew. I can say, they...

Check your servos really well. I had a servo in my BCPP go bad in way that caused really hard-to-track symptoms. The issue was that after a crash, the potentiometer that reads the...
