My Posts This: Topic Forum | I got my first flight on mine done this weekend. I was extremely limited on time, so it was only one, but I am impressed with what I saw. It lifted right off without drama and was stable and tracked very well. Flips and rolls were a bit slow, and I didn't go beyond that. But of all the FBL units I've owned (Gyrobot, V-bar, now this), this was by far the most successful maiden flight. Every other one I've immediately set the heli down after taking off and adjusted something. The way it is flying now with the default settings from the manual are pretty good, certainly better than the stock head, but not quite up to where my tuned Gyrobot and V-bar setups are. Hopefully I'll get to put a few hours in at the field later this week and I'll get it tuned in. I'm sure it'll be just as good as the others with a little tweaking.
So far the biggest issue I see with the unit is the manual. It is really horrible, if I didn't have previous experience I'm not sure that it would be useful at all. Other than that the unit itself is nice and small, with a great programmer that makes sense to use. Very nice unit. For those wondering, here's the config I have:
600N LE
Outrage FBL head
Align DS610 on cyclic, 9452 on throttle, BLS 251 on the tail
Align Carbons.
