Thank you! My goal is to have a back to the basics series to help newcomers and old comers into the hobby! It is important that we help beginners so our Hobby continues to grow!
I learned to fly on a 600 size nitro helicopter. After that phase I went to a 700 assembly. Bigger is always better because you can see what you are doing. The only reason smaller size platforms have become the new norm is cost.
Great concise video. I don't know if you had mentioned it on the video but its usually not recommended to ad dual rates or exponential to both the tx and ikon/brain fbl controller. Its more precise (provides greater resolution) if only the fbl controller is used for feel with the tx providing raw signals. Always great watching your videos.
Génial pour les débutants, mais peut-on faire de la petite 3D en style de vol "beginner" sur le brain2 ? En bref mettre l'helico sur le dos. Une petite vidéo sur le sauvetage serait vraiment sympa !!
Tout est possible à partir du moment que tu as un mode idle-up avec une courbe de gaz en V/plat ou un régulateur, la principale différence résidera dans la réponse des servos, qui sera plus ou moins rapide, donc forcément tu pourras passer sur le dos, mais fait le à une haute altitude au cas ou les servos soient trop lent, mais tu le sauras en vol au fur et a mesure que tu connais ton hélico.
Yes, you can do soft 3-D, and set up one or beginner set up in the Brain/iKon 2. But just remember everything is extremely slow. But! You don’t want a 0-60-60-60-60 throttle curve in that mode or “normal mode. You would want a flat throttle curve so 60-60-60-60-60 for example. I am working on a rescue video as we speak. Should be out shortly.
Love this video and your channel. I’m flying a 230S learning the borentations on the Realflight. 4 flights on the Heli with no crashes.. I need a bigger 2nd Heli…. Was thinking the 330S or 470L…. Which one you recommend? Up for the challenge. I also run Nitro RCs.
@@Drumbone71 Thank you! I greatly appreciate it. I’m glad the channel is helpful. So it depends on if you want to build. Personally I would move past Blade helicopters and either get a Align TB40 or SAB RAW 420 comp,
What's your opinion on having normal use a linear curve for pitch like IU1 and IU2? The guys at my club suggested I always use full pitch up and down, and learn to fly it like that (mid stick 0 pitch)
Hello , I'm new to Helicopters . I have a 450 SE . My question is the top or large gear spins as it should but the smaller bottom gear witch is the main drive gear doesn't spin at all . Have I forgot part of the Radio commands?. Thanks , Bobby M.
Hello, is that with the motor running or is that just in general? If the one-way bearing is an upside down or it is bad, the main gear will not hold the shaft and spin the tail drive gear. Also make sure your motor is going in the right direction. If it’s running backwards that will also only spin the main gear and not the shaft and tail drive gear.
Thanks man. Quick question. I have an ix 14 and just binded to my blade 330s. Well I have everything set up but I have no elevator. When I move my throttle it shows fine but elevator stays dead zero…
Have you had issues with a drift while in auto level? went through your setup and its perfect except I have a mild drift to the rear and left. Is that in the head level or can i set that with the app?
Great video Jeff thank you. I‘m actually fighting with tail wag and tail bail out with my fireball hawok - can you tell me what number of tail gain you are flying with your fireball. Thanks a lot, Daniel
Hey Daniel, thank you very much! What a FBL are you running? Is everything in the tail free and smooth? I have a video on Tailwag if you have not already watched it. I’m running 38,36 and 30 for my tail gain with a iKon mini.
Hey Jeff thank you for your quick answer. I fly iKon 2 and the tail seems free and smooth, like in your tailwag-vid. It‘s scary in upright flight the tail hold, but suddenly in inverted flight the tail totally bail out……
I have an AS3X and can't access any forward programming so I'm asking, can I also adjust the pitch range from the transmitter by playing with endpoints maybe? cheers mate
Hi thank you for your videos! I’m trying to bind my dsmx (latest version), but does not bind. A receiver is necessary to bind? I cant bind directly with ikon? Thanks
I’m more of a futaba guy, so I can’t directly answer your question but for my setups, Yes all of my helis need a corresponding receiver, and then a flybarless system(gyro) . I believe with specktrum you need a receiver as well as a satellite that hooks into the receiver. But I’m sure Jeff could answer your questions in more detail then myself!
People you do realize the transmitter he is using cost over $1000 dollars.The average modeler can't afford such a device. I am currently using a Spektrum NX8 and that set me back $500 dollars.
It does not cost over a $1000 it’s under. It’s $900 to be exact. It’s a very well used radio in the hobby, I also have a NX8. A lot more people prefer spending the money one time and have a great radio for many many years.
Hi from germany, i use a IX 14 with a brain2 for my mikado logo550se, and the tx cost in germany round 900€ euros. Its an TX for years.. but this Video is great. Jeff does here a superwork for us hobbypilots …thanks
