just another newbie question but what does the gain and the other control on the gyro do?

[ervine]

okie so why would anyone want to reduce gyro gain?

reduce it if the tail starts hunting (wagging)

Just to liven up this thread!

Pic of my "workshop" 4 mnts ago

Nice and sweet, have enu room for few books

[CKS]

"Workshop" today!!

Where did i placed that book again?!?

Ok.. need to tidy up my table soon

[ervine]

Sweeeee.....

Saw the trex up close... really "one cent money, one cent goods" huh?

I can still hardly hover in my hughes... keep getting the swing of death (swing left and right uncontrollably)...

Bro CKS,

..... I suggest U dun charge your batt on the table.....

I hope U do know that they are HAZARDous.

Overcharging might lead to explosion & I know how

we students love to burn our books but not this way

lah bro.

Long time since I flew my IFO....

Wonder if it still works.

My controller become static display

liao.... ha ha

[CKS]

dont worry bro .. noticed theres a small tin can.. i'll sit the batt in there while charging.. dont know if it can withstand lipo explosion .. should i try? ive some dying batt!!!

how much will u offer ur IFO? man u should really try to sell them while they still have values if u dont intent to fly them.

[ong]

Guess your hughes will be grounded.....

Nice new heli.....

ervine, try get the Lama 2 V3. Is much easier to fly. Just got a new set today. Very stable. If you interested, buy on-line from http://www.hobbyjapan2000.com/index.html . It much cheaper. By the way, I still not able to get my humblebee take off proper.......... Just cant trim to the right position....

Rgds

[CKS]

why do u wanna trim to the right position?

it keeps dritfing left?

Yap drift a lot. Anyway, need to trim the gain and the proportion too. Just too lazy to trim....thinking of getting http://www.hobbyjapan2000.com/store/prodde...prod=WALKERA-60

not sure is a good heli or not. Not like Trex, perfer EP swfit but too $$.....

[CKS]

hm.. but where can u get spares locally for walkera?

yea.. swfit is ex coz its .30 sized heli

Quick Japan EP8 is sized at .15 or so ..

nah lama v3 too easy.. hehehehee.... just kidding..

anyway I can take off, it's just trying to maintain it in one position takes A LOT of work... and the thing is there's delayed response, so somehow it keeps going into an uncontrollable swing after a while haha...

I think i need more time on the simulator to be honest...

Hi CKS,

walkera another name is Dragon Fly which local do carry the parts. Some parts are infact can be sub using Trex parts.

ervine, your heli is not proper trim yet that why it swing.

is it? Hmmm.... not sure leh.. is it supposed to go straight up when you throttle up and not sway side by side at all?

[ong]

Should be min. swift from left to right. My last niro heli perform such leh. May be electric is more sentitive.

mine quite dramatic... but seriously it could just be me, not enough practice...

[CKS]

yep..i found that smaller heli more sensitive!

and none of my heli will go straight up only on trottle up ..

so have to start compensating with the sticks on trottling up!

yeah that's what I figured.. and I realised that I always OVER compensate, because the heli's movements have a little bit of lag, so by the time it moves I've already over done it...

[CKS]

if u find it not responsive enu.. can try to remove the wheel collar on the flybar rod

[ong]

Reduce the gain and proportion trimer will increase responsive too....

My humblebee tail boom crack liao. Too many crashes last night.......

[ervine]

if u find it not responsive enu.. can try to remove the wheel collar on the flybar rod

what's the collar wheel??

[CKS]

what's the collar wheel??

wheel collar = those silver weight thingy on the flybar rod.

yea.. reducing the gain will increase the rudder response

removing the wheel collar will increase the L/R cyclic response

cool.. will try.. thanks!
