Thank you to Tony for the heli set up with the DX6i You Tube videos, it may just appease my bank manager! I have just made the leap to CCPM and I've had my Trex 450 Pro FBL in the air for about 10 secs. To be fair it seemed to fly OK...kind of... and then I put it down rather more heavily than I would have liked...and tail in! Result...stripped gear and bent boom. Ordered and replaced said parts and gave it a 'ground run'. It tipped up and stripped the same gear again. Ordered another 4 replacement gears (3 extra spares!) and on replacing it today noticed a link missing from the swash plate, I've no idea when I lost that!. I learnt a valuable lesson, always check everything before spooling up. Whilst waiting for my new part, I found the DX6i and CCPM full set up guide by Tony on You Tube and already I've found 1 or 2 or maybe a few more major, or more precisely, fatal errors in my setting up. The 6 videos are exactly what I need, thank you very much once again Tony!
I think I may have an issue with my rudder because when I move the stick left or right and back to the centre the blades stay over and do not return in either switch position (they do if I flip the rate/hold gyro switch on/off). The rotor shaft may be slightly bent. I need to watch the videos again and watch the behaviour of my rudder movement more closely before I can explain the problem more fully (with the correct terminology). My gyro is the Align 3G.
So as a result..I've signed up to RC-Help, i think I'm going to need it!
PS I don't know whether you are wanting PDF manuals as I have a couple of CX2 manuals a 40A Platinum ESC manual and I can PDF my 3g Flybarless manual.
