Awesome, P3tras!

Great job, congrats!

Oh man! the sound that beast does! Wow!... How you feel it, P3tras?, How was the sensation to pilot such huge heli?.

Great great job, buddy! :bigthumb:

Very nice flying. The heli hovers very solid. Now you have to find a big field and let her fly. Post a video.
Be very careful with people around....that is a huge helicopter and can do a lot of damage.

Give us more details....what's your swash mix? Servos and Gyro? etc....

Your control is very good. Keep it up.

Cheers.

Hi,
Thanks guys for your replies!!!
My setup is:
Futaba 7C 2.4ghz tx
Mystery pentium 80A ESC (doesn't get hot at all)
Stock Esky motor
Telebee HH gyro
Castle Creations BEC
Turnigy 5000mah 20C 6S lipo
Tail servo: Blue Bird BMS-661DMG+HS Digital Servo (Metal gear) 6.4kg / .08sec / 46.5g
Head servos: Blue Bird BMS-621DMG+HS Digital Servo (Metal gear) 7.2kg / .10sec / 46.5g

And tx setup is:
Swash mix:
Ail +40%
Ele -40%
Pit -41%

Throttle curve (normal)

Pitch curve (normal)

Pitch curve (throttle hold)

35%

Swash to throttle (when you move swash tx automatically adds throttle)
Ail, Ele (normal, idle up 1,2): 10%

Idle up 2 is turned off at the moment because with wooden blades it would be self destruct mode :giggle:

But it would work OK with carbon blades right?
And yeah idle up 1 curves doesn't make much sense. I should change them orange73

And at first it was very frightening. It felt like it is going to explode Crazysmile

But now it isn't that much scary orange58

Only problem is that I need a car to go flying kane

In most cases I only go flying once in a week orange3

2 years remaining for drivers license orange54

Don't be in a hurry to grow up p3tras.......the car will come and when you do grow up, it's work, work, work orange68

you probably won't have time to fly. The girls will be after you etc

Ok....your setup looks really fine......Marc (nuttcaze) will be the best person to correct or add any input for you. Fatdaddy is your next best bet.

Keep up the good work young man and don't let the girls or work get too much in the way of this hobby......eh! :giggle:

Cheers
