so tell me as a newbe im very interested in this helicommand. will this help me not to crash what does it do ......,

@paddywagons104 Hi, yep it will help you not to crash, it uses three gyros and a visual sensor to keep the heli level, as long as the heli is in the air all you have to do is let go of the right stick and the helicommand will level it out and keep it stable.

Just a question please! as i am a newbie to the RC helis world, i want to order a T-REX 600 ESP. What is the best device to minimize risks of crash? the helicommand (3A for example) or the dedicated Align flybarless system?

[GaryGraham66]

The new 3G system only stabilises the head which will help but the helicommand uses positional sensors too that keep the heli very stable and allow it to stay in one position, hands off operation.

[GaryGraham66]

Not had a lot to do with the 3G but have a few builds to do with them on so I'll post back what they are like.

too close, very dangerous flight and you're learning :(

@vector00234 We're checking out the fact that it's hovering with little or no cyclic input from the pilot. Normally, without the Helicommand stabilization system, you have to constantly (and I mean constantly) keep making small adjustments on the cyclic to keep it in a steady hover. I'd never try hovering that close to vehicles and people without the Helicommand. Very impressive piece of tech.

[vector00234]

i dont get it. what are we looking at other than you hovering 1 foot of the parking lot?

[gubber123456]

very nice although the hc does most of the flying an not the pilot.far better to learn without it u'l be a better pilot for it.beautiful heli tho would hate to wreck that

@Moumou727 align 3g flybarless is nothing like helicommand, it does NOT stabalize the heli....

The best way to prevent crash as a newbie, is to buy a RC helicopter/plane simulator first
