Hey Sokal my blade with a 401 wont hold, nose drifts right? I can't get it to hold solid I followed your vids to a T, still drifts? Any ideas on a cure? Thanks Todd e- mail is wadefindlay@aol.com. Your the best.

@toddwadefindlay1 adjust by moving the servo up or down the boom to get that lil amount of tail pitch out or adj in servo control rod a 1/2 turn at a time

i had the 401 and the jr 3400g did create a lil more demand on the system so i put BEC in to let the esc deal with motor only. the castle 35A is my best recomendation it will do well with stock motor and give room for later upgrades. and thanks

Been going over this video number of times. Have 3500G/401. Been causing problems. ended up R gyro in reverse on radio. now servo works fine, but in HH light does not come on? light off in regular mode at setting of 49.0 on gyro. Any ideas, you can send a PM. Maybe I need to take helicopter to VA Beach for a vacation. LOL (they will be going to sun FL soon tho!)

[sokal11]

make sure your not running 6v with the 3500g

but check your gyro direction in the reverse menu should be N anything a bove 51 is HH mode

You have a gyro that cost as much as the heli? Man.. The stock gyro is good enough and a good pilot can fly without a gyro. Just use some revo mixing and you're good.

People are crazy!

[sokal11]

yes i can fly with out the gyro but sure makes its easier when demanding torque on the main rotor system to so tic tocs and knife edge

Hey Sokal bought some carbon fiber rotor blades, new monster foam tape for the 401 and wala perfect tail hold. Thanks for the vids.

Great videos, couldn't have set it up without your help. Thanks a million!

Hi sokal,

Video was a great help. everything went perfect except I had to drop the gain to about 57 to stop the tail wagging?! And after half a battery the ESC went pop. I think its just a dud stock ESC not sure if the 401 and digital tail servo would put that much extra demand on the ESC. Would you recommend upgrading the ESC?cheers

@nwjt The gyro obviously costs less than the heli (both new) and you can buy a copy of 401 for $14 - dealextreme .20020

The stock gyro would work if only it didn't have that huge temp drift!

Revo mixing is poor and might only be good with almost constant rotor speeds which I am not really going for.

I like this video. great shooting.

@nwjt Put a video were your mouth is! Sokal11 has some very good flight vids, The gyro that comes with the Blade 400 is junk. The insides are loose. Its hard to fly when your gyro has your tail waging all over the place. So lets see you fly the 400 without a gyro.
