Me and my dad has one of these and for a micro helicopter it can take some beat ups my dad has crash his 3 times with some majoy hits i've one whoopsy and my little sister has even thrown IGGLE PIGGLE on it and it stills fly's true :) stunning micro helicopter perfect for people who are flying there 450's
10 dislikes!!! what idiot would disaprove your capabilities?!!wow man you fly like a champ! I was at the park today and tried to do some basic flips.Everytime I tried, it pirouetted out of control.Im using a dx6i tx.would those values you posted work for the dx6i? I have to go to the hobby store on monday to replace my tail boom.
Probably 1 hater with 10 different accounts?? I believe the 6i is a Jr type radio the settings I think should cross directly over. There should be no issues.
Nice Moves. Mind to send me your controller settings and what mods you've done? i'm having a god aweful time keeping my headspeed from dropping. Its probably 70% of my failed 3d attempts when i just cant pull it back up from a roll...
Here are the radio setting used. AIL 60% Expo, 100% DR ELEV 60% Expo, 100% DR RUDD -35% Expo, 125% DR Travel adjust PITCH H 63% L 63% THROTTLE H150 L150 Sub Trim PITCH H 30 Throttle Curve Normal 0-inh-100-inh-100 Idle 1 100-100-100-100-100 For RJ type radio
You could try the settings given...they are for spectrum/JR type radios...if you are using a Futaba then the expo numbers must be reversed (-60 must be used instead of 60 to get the same result)
Hello.. nice fly, are you using the stock radio?..i perform inverted too but i think i'm not as fast like you....i mind transitions.. recovery..thanks
However if the head speed sags below minimal RPM due to improper collective management (CM) at the same time lift sags below minimal required for flight and torque reaches maximum as amps reach maximum attempting to spin the head back up , pitch is maximum and throttle is firewalled. At this point the tail is unable to compensate you'll hear the tail rotor rev very high just before the heli pirouettes out of control.
Could be your radio settings or the tail motor could be damaged. When you give give full power punchouts does the tail hold or does it rotate? if it rotates it could be too much pitch or failing motor.
@3rflyingcom Oh I don't know either... rigid is usually a good thing and if you shed a few grams off of the blades surely that will result in an increase in usable power. It will be an interesting mod for sure in any case.... Great flying by the way!
A more ridged blade may amplify small undesired movement making the heli more twitchy, harder to fly smooth and making it easier to stall the head....A lighter blade if possible would almost certainly be good as long as it was at least as ridged as stock. I would think a carbon / more ridged blade would weigh more.
@3rflyingcom Hiya... Oh no, carbon fiber will definitely be lighter. That's the main point I was making... that lighter blades may wake the bird up and expand it's rather limited 3d capabilities. Carbon fiber is more rigid as well but over a span as short as these rotors, I doubt more rigidity will make much difference. The heli doesn't appear to have the grunt to flex even the plastic stock blades.
Humm maybe we could design a honeycomb CF matrix with a skin of some sort..film, plastic or something... That would certainly be light, ridged ...also probably expensive to build and easy to scatter.
FYI FBL blades are actually design to be a tad heavier. You can use lighter plades but they usually become very pitchy and do not track well. I also fly a 700e 3g fbl and do enjoy a light blade for flying smack but preffer a heavier fbl blade for fast agressive flight. There is always a trade off.
What are your pitch curves??? Thanks

because its very responsive the expos shown were during this video.

@3rflyingcom I know it's responsive, but I can't fly even half that well and my expo is down to like 20-30% on ELE and AIL.

Have you ever had the tail motor cut out on you when doing these maneuvers ?
Ghostflyer63 10 months ago
@Ghostflyer63
physically shut down and lose rotation?...No
However if the head speed sags below minimal RPM due to improper collective management (CM) at the same time lift sags below minimal required for flight and torque reaches maximum as amps reach maximum attempting to spin the head back up , pitch is maximum and throttle is firewalled. At this point the tail is unable to compensate you'll hear the tail rotor rev very high just before the heli pirouettes out of control.
CM required!

He also said they tried brush-less and said it felt really heavy in the air and the brushed was the most efficient for its weight
dingo7222 10 months ago
The manager of the Blade Mcp-X said that they tried carbon fiber blades and they were heavier than the plastic ones and didnt fly half as well

I had suspected they did quite a bit of R&D on this bird. Good to know that the CF avenue was explored.

Are these blades plastic? If so, I bet some carbon blades would really wake the bird up.
