Axe CPv3 Hover

Learning to hover my Axe CPv3. The 3-1 board fried, so I'm running separates Electrifly c-25 and c-12 and the Futaba GY240 HH Gyro. The heli is much eaier to fly with the heading hold gryo.

The earlier version didn't have the bell-hiller setup, so mine is more stable than the V1. However, just a simple hover like this does require constant inputs. I wouldn't call it "fighting," but if i looked away for a second or took my hands off the controls, it would crash pretty quickly.

my 3-1 only lasted about a month before it fried. they did send me a new one though.

PLEASE!!! someone help!! I broke one of the blad grips and I have no clue how to take them off to replace them!! I know there is a little screw in the middle but I tried everything and it doesn't work. So can someone please help me!?!?! Thanks!

how hard are these to fly vs. a micro coax ?

@kentomatic Hi, Im from MX City and I have almost one year with my cpV3 and the electronics fried up now because I program My Futaba 7hcp Radio instead of using the Stock Radio, Maybe is a conincidence but the question is, did you have a wiring diagram of how to connect and configure the C-25, because I already have the C-12 and the GY-240 and also make all the upgrade to the Rotor in anodized aluminum, so I dont want to throw to trash this heli.

what is the hold gyro?

my reciever fried after slamming into a mailbox at full speed (forgot it was there)...ill probably just build an exi 450

i had a cpv3 trust me get a blade 400 the electronics suck in the cpv3 once they go bad after 1 month you will pay 80.00 for a new 3-in 1 not worth it

Hey man, I just got an Axe CPv3 today. Charged up the pack and managed to hover tail in without incident. You are further along than me for sure. I fly Realflight g4.5 and just moved away from a E-Sky Lama V4 Co-Axial. I am just a little scared of this real single rotor heli.

Nice job on the video and you found someone that can actually hold a camera steady. Expect a video response next week sir! :)

[aquapwnsyou]

nice job did you have much trouble setting up a gyro or is it easy enough for someone who is very inexperienced to do?

I don't know how long you've been flying, but you're doing quite well. I' build T-rex & HDX 450's from scratch and they will hover hands off for a few seconds. I have my friends test fly them, as I'm afraid I'll crash them (expensive!). Looks like you're ready for a T-rex or an E-flite 400. They're actually easier to fly from what I've seen. I'm a lot older than you, so maybe my reflexes are too slow.
