Trex 250SE w/ Skookum SK-720 in Backyard

Buzzing around in the backyard. I turned down the D/R (limits the angle of the swash, and thus the bite it can take of the air) and decreased the expo (making the controls more aggressive), but with enough throw so I can overcome the wind. The FBL unit does a good job at HH the cyclic while I provide the vertical and direction control. Around the turns I still have to bank it.

Neat to have a 200 size backyard flyer. Here is the vid looking from the heli's perspective using an $11 keychain camera:

Hi, are you using the self leveling feature on this flight?

[Silverexpress01]

@Imhondamatt81 Hi, no. At the time Self Leveling was not yet available. The SK-720

has a few advance options that help in stabilizing the heli. I also decreased the D/R on the TX, and added some expo to decrease the stick throws.
