Pitch too sensitive

You are so! right. I cant believe how much power and control these little things have. They are really a hand full. I've got my rates way down so I don't scare myself silly.

Pitch too sensitive

Folks, getting my hovering down nicely but I've noticed my pitch is very sensitive. I've used the dual rates to calm down the cyclic (aileron/elevator) controls but moving the pitch/throttle only...

C30 exhaust diverter?

Thanks guys. I just never occurs to me to modify something from the factory. I don't know what makes me think that every factory design is perfect. A couple of well placed holes would be perfect and...

Ya know, I kind of like the idea of using the dual rates to limit my cyclic movement. This SWASH stuff is new and I'm not sure I completely understand it. Dual rate just seems familiar to me since...

I've noticed many folks swing their blades back and use a holder attached to the boom when they transport their helo's. Do you fly with the blades loose enough to swing them or do you tighten them up...
