Cheapest Trex 450 helicopter build / setup #8

[Aaron16]

How do I do this with a turnigy 9x?

[MikeysRC]

@Aaron16 Search my youtube channel for hoe to set up the TH9X for a CCPM heli. I already made a video for this.

[x1shadowz1x]

Hey Mikey will a spektrum DX5e and a AR500 reciever work with the heli? any kind of settings have to be done to it? Im kinda of a newbie to the electronics.

[MikeysRC]

@x1shadowz1x No that TX can't do 6 channel helis.

[scottwooten]

Hey there. Love the video. Your instructions are so clear. I am using a DX6i and it still makes sense. Gave me some really awesome pointers :D Thanks Mikey.

[anth1969100]

hello im new to all this ive come to a full stop can any one help. im trying to set up the 3d switch but unsure how on the turnigy 9x any info would bee greatfull. thanks in advance

[gwelch76]

Hey Mikey! Love the videos! They are all SUPER helpful.

I do have a question though - I'm confused why @5:00 you want us to have the throttle adjustment all the way down? It makes it seem like things will jam up if I ever set that to the middle again...

Thanks, again.

[MikeysRC]

@gwelch76 It's because in NON-3D mode or "hover" mode at 0 throttle the servo horns should be just about perfectly level so that there is 0 pitch on the blades.

[Oddman76]

dont know where I would be without your tutorials even though my trex clone is full metal with carbon frame the basics are the same like fitting the servos(did not need to take all screws out though i just undid them to get some give in the frame) the only servo giving me some problems at the moment is the tail servo he is a tricky fellow to get right :o) Many thanks !!!

[justrandombytes]

@MikeysRC I just got a FS-CT6B from xheli and I wondering how you figured out which channel is aileron, "pitch" and elevator? Is it that left and right on the right-hand stick only move two channels? Also why did Align call it "pitch", why not left and right, for intstance?

[jpjr21]

Thanks for the videos...they are very helpful!

#OMG

[helicub81]

Hey, when you first turn on the servos to find their center point, do you set the transmitter's throttle to the lowest setting, (blade pitch 0) on normal mode?

[MikeysRC]

@helicub81 Yes...but also remember that your swash AFR settings and servo sub trim also comes into play too when trying to find the center.

[artemoonlv]

Its possible to train with this transmitter on simulators like Aerofly?

[MikeysRC]

Never done it myself....I hear it's possible but a big pain to set it up to do that.

[MikeysRC]

In one of my later videos in this series I think I show you how to set it up. But you have to first mix channel 5 with VRB.

[MikeysRC]

Yes. You use the VRB knob.

[1May1984]

So if you want a Mode 1 Transmitter, do you set up the Tx/Rx differently than you have here ?

[MikeysRC]

@1May1984.....Yes

[1May1984]

do you have any guides on how to do so ?

[MikeysRC]

@1May1984 No but all you do is put the transmitter in a different "stick" mode. Otherwise the set up ois the same. However you will also need to open up the transmitter and swap the spring to the other side.

[Note2self2]

Your awsome

[fernades45]

can you gimme a sites that i can buy a helis 'not ready to fly'.. i want to buy a helis, but i want to build it myself

tyvm

[MikeysRC]

Yeah. Go to my web site store. I'm selling them. Should be getting my next shipment in soon!

[vanepico]

I might gewt one of these helis when i'm fed up with my belt cp!

[MikeysRC]

Yeah you will be much happier with it than your Belt.

[comedymaker1]

thank u so much u actually change the way i think of rc helis when o reach 200 dollers i will buy one 4 sure

[edi514]

ON a spektrum ar6100, can you go over the s ervo installation. The channels aren't numbered.

[MikeysRC]

ELEV The rear swash plate servo plugs in here.

RUDD The gyro plugs in here. And then the tail or rudder servo plugs into your gyro.

GEAR The little extra gyro wire plugs into here.

AUX1 Your right aileron servo plugs in here. This is the lower servo in the front of the helicopter.

[MikeysRC]

BATT/BIND Only used when you want to bind your transmitter to your receiver.....and you stick that little servo plug with a looped wire on it into this port.

THRO Yes, your ESC plugs into here.

ALE Your LEFT aileron servo plug in here. This is upper servo in the front.

[edi514]

Thank you so much for the reply. My I'm putting the blades on tonight and routing and tying down the servo wires. Great job on the videos. Lots of help.

[MikeysRC]

Hey, that's exactly where I am right now too. I'm making a video on how to balance blades, level swash and track the blades.

[nunyabizniss34]

Yet another awesome vid Mikey, great job! I just got my EXI 450 today and these vids are fantastic! --- Colin

[xxblingxbling]

When's the next one?!?!?!? You got me checking every hr. I personally think you have the best how to video for this kind of build.

[MikeysRC]

Hey there xxblingxbling, I'm glad you like my "how to's" so much. Aw, man I'm trying so hard to get these out fast but I got so many RC projects I'm working on. Don't quote me on it but hopefully by Friday morning. Did you already buy all the parts?

[xxblingxbling]

Yup i got all the parts you listed in already and just waiting to put it all together. Lol, i think by friday i might have mess something up already trying to get this thing to fly. You're doing a great job man.
