My Posts This: Topic Forum | reverse the gyro first (leave your radio for a sec), when you push the tail sideways with your hand, the leading edge of the blades should rotate to the oposite direction to counter the movement.
So if you push the tail to the left, the leading edge of the blades should turn right.
Once you have that doen, pick up your radio.
Give left rudder, the leading edge of the tail blades should go to the right.
If they do not, reverse rudder in your radio.
Once you have done these things, double check it all 
You should not be mechanically taking out all your negative pitch.
Its your thumbs that are shoving it into the ground, and its a habit YOU have to break.
However, in the mean time, set the heli up for equal pitch range top and bottom.
To get rid of lots of negative pitch, adjust your pitch curve.
If your only flying in normal mode (not idle up), then go into your radio menu for pitch curve.
Instead of starting the curve at zero, start it at 40.
If its a JR or Spektrum radio, it will end up looking like this 40/45/50/75/100.
You should be hovering at about 3/4 stick, never at center, forms bad habits IMO.
Now then, if you take all of your negative pitch out, then how do you think you will get the heli down when its windy and pushes your heli up?
Quite often a bit of negative pitch is needed.
One thing I know for sure, is focus on breaking bad habits, but do what you have to in the short term as well.
Hope this has helped a bit, I do remember quite well how confusing it all was when I 1st started
If you bling it, they will come :D |
