Trex 450XL 3D Flying + Crash at end

http://heliguy.com/rchelicopterblogs/olliewest/

Had a great flight on my Trex, with my new radix 325's. Some good 3D and VERY low invered hover at times. But the gyro played up when inverted i found out plus the wind picked up, which equalled in my crash :( . Luckly the blades survived :D , that saved my £30. NOTE the actuall damage was only: Main gear, Flybar and one set of servo gears and a servo horn.

what gyro was you running

[olliewest]

A cheap CSM one.

wow that a low count parts for that kind of crash

[olliewest]

Yea, I was suprised too.

learn your orientation better. don't do what you haven't practiced on the sim. think before performing and showing off.. shesh...

[olliewest]

yeh, but as I said the crash was due to a gyro fault..

[olliewest]

I think it was somewhere around £20-£25, not bad as the blades didn't break.

unlucky - how much was the total for the crash damage? ps I just got a 450XL too for a bit of fun.

In Idle up 100, 95, 90, 95, 100 (throttle curve), in idle down (normal) 0, 25, 50, 75, 100.

I would personally recommend those settings.

Pithc curves are the same as idle down throttle curve's, that should produce +12 ~ -12 pitch.

what are you running at? full throttle all the time? and also what are your pitch/throttle curves for going from normal to stunt mode? thanks i wanna get mine doin 3d now
