Trex 250 SE Align 3G (v1 firmware) flybarless test flight flips rolls invert

[jblackmore7]

This flight was with 3G on original v1.0 firmware, I've since updated to 2.1 and the nodding issue has almost completely gone, I now run gains around 12:00 and it flies superbly. I have several hundred flights on this now, and a couple of crashes, and no issues at all with 3G.

hey, did you fly the heli WITH the flbar before switching over to the Flybarless system??

if so how do you like the heli flybarless compared to the heli with flybar.

does the heli perform better with the flybarless system or with flybar??

Thanks :)

@ChrisRainRC I had a 250v1 which I flew flybarred for several hundred flights before getting 250SE which I flew a few times flybarred, then fitted the 3G, and much preferred it, and sold the v1 on. I use cheap lipos so the power difference is noticable for me. I now hgve 3G on all my heli's, and enjoyed them all more flybarless, and have had no major issues.

Thanks Daz, To be honest I think the flying gods were with me on this flight, I'm normally a lot more scrappy ;-)

Just to add to this, I've been flying the 3G 250SE quite a lot, I've turned the elevator gain right down to as low as it will turn, which is about 8:00, and elevator nodding/oscillation is only noticable on consecutive hovering rolls, it still porpoises in fast forward flight, but its not too bad, and I am happy to fly round it until the USB lead and software update turns up which hopefully will fix this.
