*Heli 3D TEST. If you can follow my mild 3D flight and can tell exactly what I am doing the entire time with the transmitter sticks, then you are probably ready for 3D helicopters. At this point the learning process will begin again! Watching others fly helps me, so maybe this will help you. That is my goal.....to help so you don't learn the hard way like I did.
Yes the sun does shine here in Iowa sometimes and the first flight today was that way, but the second was a bit windy and cloudy. Hmmm..back to normal! We have to learn to fly in the wind here, or we would never get to fly at all, and with these OLD EYES it is nice to have some sun shining on the model so a guy can see it.....especially without his orange pontoons! LOL.

Remember "If it sounds stupid but it works, it ain't stupid!"

Thanks for watching, subscribing, and all your continued support.

  • The Billy Idol MIDI is a nice touch :-P

  • @brangyrc411 So i'll email you all info i have on leveling and setup your heli you will find very interesting, i learnt a lot from it.

  • @brangyrc411 well this just happen to me the other day trying to learn to hover, lol. But there are a few things i can think of, first is your swash plate settings in your Tx like in my DX6i has two settings 90deg or 120 CCPM make sure it is set to 120 CCPM. The next thing is then servo direction of travel and interaction, after that is your swash plate leveling and finally is your sub trim during flight. Some of these can go into a fair bit more detail, way to much to fit on here.

  • @yowie1987 so I fixed the hard right thing and I went out to test it and now when I bring it up to a

    high rpm again it rolls hard to the left and so that makes me have to kill the throttle and the one

    time it fell over and I cracked the blades any suggestions

  • That piece of deserted roadway, with a highway behind it, is reminiscent of Old 66, like here in Central OK. For a minute there Dave, I thought you were gunna try &Trick-Fly that Copter into the open-backside of your vehicle, and exit Out the Side of it...

    Love Your U.P. Steam Loco Vid too.

  • Thanks for all you do Dave and thank your Wife for letting you!!!
