Blade 400 3D DX6i PT1

[wjpferr]

There is no rudder on a Heli, its called yaw (but we know what you mean). And dude dont scratch your screen... thanks anyway there was something I did not know about my DXI6. :)

[MoFoHo72]

That owl reflection is freaky

[flagtube]

You scratch on your display...

[AssemblerAVR]

What´s the range of the DX6i?

[motogpfan46]

Thanks, your video's saved me, bought a used 400 that the guy had no idea what he was doing, it was set up all wrong.

[speedstakerguy]

on horizonRCdotcom theres 10 channel transmitters for like over 1000 bucks.. do people actually buy them?

[sokal11]

if u need 10 channels sure

[festool]

who cares what mk22 thinks LOL tit ? , very well done this guy has taken the time to explane the basics of the blade 400 to new first timers on the dx6i etc. not many people do this.10/10

[spitfireMK22]

lol pedals what a retard its rudder or yaw pedals lol wat a dick. Sorry that the first time ive heard that expression but do u fly real helis because in other vid ur wering wat apears to be a military pilot suit

[sokal11]

well iv been working on real helicopter as u call them for 10 years. and no helicopter has a rudder. unless its on floats. and yes its normaly the yaw pedels or anti-torque pedels.

we RC heli flyier use the term rudder as it corisponds to the TX easier and to fixed wing folks.

but im glad you got a chuckle. but if u got a least a lil bit of info from it then it was worth my time

Hi Sokal. You're vids are very helpful so thanks.

One question -

Tail problem. Had a crash previousy. Mostly fixed, but the tail is acting strange - just keeps spinning when I try to lift the heli. I reversed the tail because I like it better that way. Do I also have to reverse to gyro because of this? Any suggestions why the tail is spinning? No gears stipped I don't think. Thank you! Gareth

[sokal11]

well if u fly the nose thats cool will be odd when you start doing 3d

but yes if you reverse the servo in the TX you will have to rev the gyro as well (on the gyro) if you reverse the gyro in the TX all it does is reverse the Heading hold/ rate numbers ie rate mode will be 51-100 instead of 0-49

[ilikecheetos12]

my dx6i is now all of a sudden messed up. did some reading and apparently its a known problem with pots on the transmitter messing up. and my throttle pot now is messed up. it throttles up and cuts out on its own. getting so many problems with this heli. first the servos which i replaced and now the transmitter problem.

[sokal11]

yes i have read of this dx6i malfunction

they have a replacemnt program for bad ones its on the horrizon hobby web site

[NovarossiGpx4]

Very imformative. Thanks sokal really cleared things up for me. Being as lazy as I am I roughly read through the dx6i manual. Youve really made things much easier. Cheers.

[ilikecheetos12]

i read the dx6i manual, but this video tutorial is 100% better.....wow good job sokal

[nagaich2r1]

Thankx that demo helped a lot, im still a beginner pilot but gettin there,bought the b-400 2days ago & it had problems right out of the box...gyro,servo messed up but im gettin a free replacement. I do have the fear of that 1st step 'Gettin the bird up' know what i mean? Oh might break this/that. Do fly the cx-2 pretty good so whats the best way for me to throttle up & get rid of that 1sec burst of fear? Im learning so no im not embarassed asking you sir. Thankx again.

[CyclingMagician]

great video. very informative. I am currently trying to set it up for my Blade CP. Your video is one of the main reasons why I decided to upgrade my helicopter radio.

[itsmeray01]

Thanks . Great Info !!!

But I can't stand it when You poke at your

Plastic display with that screwdriver.

[CyclingMagician]

me either... he is poking at it like he has way better controllers... haha

[yousurehuh]

hi sokal,thanks for the great videos.

mine rudder input will lose altitude in normal mode. is there any mix like rud - thr will compensate? thos % are kinda confusing.

D0% U5% = both directions rud input give 5% up thr input?

lower down the pitch curve will help, but i trying optimize the rotor speed and elevator without sacrifice too much stability.

by using 1960/2200mah, my bird stay alive in hover b4 the esc cut off for 12.5 min. :D

thanks for help in advance.

[tek5828]

Hay at 1:07  - the voltage of the battery and the battery bar thing, is that the dx's battery or the helo's battery

[sokal11]

battery status of the DX6I

[tek5828]

Ok thanks, so theres no way of seeing the helo's battery status?

[sokal11]

they have a light that changes color that you can buy to help with this

or just use the timer on the remote

the 1800 in normal mode is like 6 min

the 2100 is like 8

in idle its less

thiers also a low voltage cut out the esc does witch you will hear the rotor rpm change its not best to let it get to that point to offten this will harm the batt

[tek5828]

Ah ok- coz ive been flying- i get about 9mins max, mainly coz im just hovering gently , so im thinking- ill switch the timer to 7 mins? 4+ for idle .... Ill look into geting on of those light things--

Regards Tim

Hi sokai11

my name is marco,and i want to ask you

about my battery,because lately the esc

trigger "soft low voltage cutoff when the vattery is only 11.7 volts on the reading

what is wrong the battery or the ESC and this is only when i hover,so please can you help me on this one,thank you

[7byseven]

thanks for this mate. had the dx7 but didnt like it, it sucked in so many ways. got rid of it and getting dx6i tomorrow woop woop.

[tek5828]
