Hi Nade, good luck with your next steps. I can do a lot more on the simulator than I can with my T-Rex 550. I think a big part of it is the difference between the simulator's settings for flybarless than what's inside the gyro on the real heli.
What gyros have you got fitted in the real deal? Do you fly with the big ones yet or are you mostly simulator based? A video of what you do right now would help for assessment of the real flyers we have here to advise.
If you've already done it well done, if not, take care but at some point you just have to risk the cash involved with the damage of a crash.
Bye for now!
Hi Heliman450, thanks very much for your input! The settings in the sim definitely can be different and I've worked on those to make them as close to the characteristics of my heli's. Most of my time in the four plus years in the hobby have been with 250 class heli's. I recently acquired a Blade 450 3D that flys very nice with the stock gyro, which I think is the 210s, something like that. The set up on my Goblin 770 is a Quantom motor, Torq servos, Spirit Pro RX, Castle Creations ESC, Pulse 2s 7.4 primary and two 6s Pulse 35c 6000mAh. My 630 is partially disassembled for shipment to a friend who's buying it.
I can fly all my birds, with most of the time spent on the smaller ones although the larger ones are easier to fly. I don't get out to the field as often as I'd like to so I'll take a smaller one to fly in the back yard. Here is a link to a flight I had with my 450 at my local park.
The Blade 450 3D at the park 9/5/16 - YouTube Not a very good flight at all. I know it's taking my confidence from the sim and applying it to the real thing. My thoughts of using my 250 class heli's to break the inhibitions come from the fact that I have plenty of repair parts for those. And knowing that they are a bit more difficult to fly (hence why I prefer the larger bird's), if I can overcome those inhibitions with a successful transition with some simply 3D maneuvers I'll feel much more confident when it comes to the 450 or 770. I'm just more cautious with those simply because of the cost involved if they did go down.
Incidentally, I just bought an Align 600L Dominator. A good friend, trainrider06, has inspired me to try moving from Blade, of which I have many to Align. I'm going to start an article of the build shortly.
If there's any other info you need just let me know. Thanks again.
