E-flite Blade SR + Tree Crash + DX7 Settings

First time w/ forward flight! (and first real crash)

My SR's swashplate separated mid flight, which caused the heli to drop altitude really quickly, ultimately resulting in loss of positive pitch while I went into a bank turn near a tree.

Because of the all the requests, here are my settings for a DX7:

3 Servo's 120 degrees
Aile +60%
Elev +60%
Pit. +35%

All travel adjustments 100%

Aile DR/Expo 100%/30+
Rudd DR/Expo 100%/Lin
Elev DR/Expo 100%/30+

Pitch Curves
Norm - L=41.5%, 1=46.0%, 2=50.0%, 3=75.0%, H=100%
Hold - L=0, 1=25.0%, 2=50.0%, 3=75.0%, H=100.0%
ST 1&2 - L=0, 1=25.0%, 2=50.0%, 3=75.0%,H=100%

Throttle Curves
Normal - L=0%, 1=36.5%, 2=80%, 3=80%, H=80%
ST-1 & ST-2 - L=100.0%, 1=100%, 2=100%, 3=100%, H=100

Servo Reversing as follows
Set your own...

Timer: 6:30, although you can probably go a bit higher on this.

Why did it broke in a middle of a flight ???

@tubeseek41

The earlier releases of the SR had some manufacturing issues with the swashplate - I think it has been fixed since, however.

This was my first cp heli, I then got the trex 450 pro........the 450 pro is A W E S O M E

[jaydekaytv]

@Captan6pack Yes it is! I actually got a 450 Pro before the SR. They both have their functions, but the 450 pro is a fantastic machine.

Enjoy!

Hi there. i bought a Blade SR from a guy who crashed it, i rebuild it and only had a few hovers then on a landing the blades hit the tailboom and killed most of the helicopter.. actually only the eletrics and landing gear left :( ohh well! i never gained proper control over it while i had it, is it possible that you could tell me the complete pushrod lengths? + the settings you use in your DX? i got a DX6i

I am going to rebuild the heli but i am all new in this! hope you can help me out :)

@iZilly

Hi here are the lengths that I measured when I first got the heli:

Factory Link Lengh:

Pitch (Right when facing nose): 17mm

Aile (Left when facing nose): 2.5mm

Elev (Front): 5mm

Adjustable pitch control links: 2mm

The DX7 Settings are in the video description, they should be similar to a DX6i.

If you want to get into helis you might want to pick up a sim to get the basics down.

Have fun and good luck!

Had to watch the video without audio, but looks like damage was not too bad. Happy flying...

What did you do for the gyro? Did you use gain settings on the DX7? Did you turn the gain on the gyro itself? The tail holds the best in this video than others I've seen...
