Well I did not manage to get to the field today, but i did manage to get my 450 DFC on to the new tx,
I stripped out the receiver and re routed a few wires as i was not happy with the position of them, mainly the ESC lead, got the sats fitted, oh and reverted back to V3.1 on the 3Gx.
of course after the revert i had to do the complete DIR setup, but could not believe that the centre position was out on my swash throws so had to do all that as well.
Well i got it all done and took it in the garage to try it out, got it in the air but needed a touch of blade tracking as there was loads of vibes due to this. done that and all was good, oh had to loosen the blades had them slightly to tight as well, this showed up by the swash tilting backwards.
had it in the air for a short while before i realised that i hadn't put any expo in, so put that to 20% same as my dx6i took off again and quickly realised it was to much, so halved it, now the heli feels great, cant wait to get it outdoors.....
So not only does my 450 feel like a new bird but so does my 130xx, the control feel of the Dx8 is amazing, with the 450 in a 20ft x 12ft garage i felt i had loads of control and room.
