I was doing some inverted, waiting for my dad to take a picture of my BL while inverted... then the worst thing happened: The transmitter started telling me that the battery was low!!!! I figured, "well I got a minute while dad takes a pic"

Well, his phone was out of memory so he had to delete something... when he did though, it still said it was out of memory... so he sat there, trying to fix it, all the while the transmitter was sitting there beeping like a truck driver!

Finally he got enough space, and he was just about to take the picture, literally his finger was right over the button waiting for the right moment, then the TX gave up, letting go of the helicopter, letting it smash into the ground, inverted... *facepalm*

Luckily no damage suffered... other than my pride.

Could be worse. I was flying Matt's (callsign4223) mcpx and flipped it inverted just to notice that at full negative pitch, the heli would not stay in the air lmao. I tried to catch it (too low to the ground to flip back over) but was too late. Same thing, hit T-Hold and just let it drop lmao.

 

[BladeScraper]

WEll, except I couldn't hit TH... it totally stopped responding to the TX... so it kept doing random things on the ground...

Another bad thing about these micros is that if you crash, the motor under so much load drags the power down so much that the 3-in-1 stops responding to the TX controls, therefore continuing to spin around tearing itself up (ask me how I know that)

 

[Tony]

Yup, known as the chicken dance lmao.

 

[BladeScraper]

Yup, you seen this?

head out to maiden the Gaui X2 and see how the 550 dose after being all put back together

Well today was not to productive byy very nice for flying. Yesterday I got the ct6b setup and tested on the test stand.

First test felt so weird, come to find out I needed to reverse the rudder in the tx. During the first test I had mad vibrations.

Second test was blade tracking. It was off because I did a complete reset up. I have +-10° of collective and I think +-10° cyclic. I made three full turns on the swash to blade grip rod and !!bam!!! Dead on tracking and no serious vibes.

Last night I found out that I have a rogue usbasp programmer. So now I have two in route since they are cheap.

More to follow in the near future.

 

[heli-maniac]

all went well putting the video together now
