Learn How To Fly RC Helicopter (HOVERING Side in Orientation)

[stimulater7]

can you use a 6 channel transmitter to fly a 4 channel heli?

[MikeysRC]

@stimulater7 yes if it's a programmable TX.

@MikeysRC Yeah thanks i have successfully switched it over to mode 2 with is much better, but having abit of trouble flying my 4ch venom night ranger 2 fixed pitch heli, i'm worried that the ploblem is the brand so i was thinking of selling and getting a 4ch co-axial esky model, but i'm not sure. What do you think? Thanks!

[MikeysRC]

@AZAKO80 Yeah I think the venom is more of a toy grade RC heli.

[AZAKO80]

Thanks, but how do you switch from Mode 1 to 2?

[MikeysRC]

@AZAKO80 It depends on what transmitter you have. If it's a computer programable TX then you just reprogram it. If it's not then you have to open it up and take it apart and move wires for the two "left - right" potentiometers on each stick.

Great vids, but i have a porblem with the control set up on my transmitter. It has bank left and right on the throttle side and the forward reverse and the rotate left. rotate right on the other side where there should be cyclic controls. Thanks!

[MikeysRC]

@AZAKO80 Sounds like your transmitter is set up in Mode 1 (a very confusing mode). I reccomned using Mode 2.

Thanks very much for the series. This really helped me get a sense of where I can improve my skills. One more vote for the next steps (forward flight). As I fly around I'm still not clear the relationship between rudder and moving the cyclic left to make sweet turns. Thanks again!

i just bought a 4 channel heli and have been getting annoyed because im not used to the controlles but your vids really help me out thank you could you tell me is the body on your helicopter in this vid a thin plastic that is very easy to break or is it just me ?

[MikeysRC]

@xToXiicxT3RRoRx yes the plastic is easy to break.

[xToXiicxT3RRoRx]

@MikeysRC oh also can you buy new bodies and install them yourself or no because of the lights and stuff ?
