Great flying bro! Looks like the 3GX is working out for you

Good job, Westy! What AIL and ELE gain values you do use? What problems you did you have with Version 3.0? It works superbly on all of my 3gx power-ed fleet.

I don't think westy had an issue with 3.0, but I had wicked takeoff issues with the RCH Heli. 3.1 solved that.

Good job, Westy! What AIL and ELE gain values you do use? What problems you did you have with Version 3.0? It works superbly on all of my 3gx power-ed fleet.

Ail and Ele Gains set on pots with software connected ... set at 105 each even!

I had no real problem .... only noticed that when you tenatively tried to take off.... the heli would roll over left quite hard ... .so you have to give it right aileron as normal for a flybarred set up ..... but no it works a lot better on that respect. I also noticed that the latest version of software has a switch for simulating Flybarred ... ??? not sure what that is for!

I use the Simulated Flybar, but I have it set very low to keep the cyclic dampening as little as possible.

Have you played with different parameters accessible through the 3GX software?

I really dislike the default settings on version 3.0. Besides the Simulated Flybar, I turned the Pitch and Cylic acceleration to about 60 to get the desired agility. Other than that, I leave all other parameters alone.

I have a bad 3GX (highly suspected, but never fully confirmed). But all others work like a charm.

Regardless of all the vilifying, I still trust them. Just wonder when Align is going to release a version that allows making adjustments using my Android phone.

That would be awesome!
