First off, we're at about the same skill level, although I'll give ya kudos for going for flight mode 1! I too just got my Fusion 360. 9:25 I'm pretty sure flight mode 2 is the same as FM1, just with a higher head speed, so theoretically, would make it more stable, so they say. 10:00 Yeah, I have to wait for almost no wind days to fly. one of the other commenters mentioned flight sim. I have the Realflight system, and although it's not perfect, it definitely helps. I can go inverted on the sim! but would never try it in real life.
Wear rubber gloves during the winter. To keep your hands warmer and still have the Feel for flying with transmitter. Try it. Charge your batteries up from storage. Before you go out to fly, use them and charge them the next time.!!! And definitely on your transmitter. Set a 4 and a 1/2 minute timer on a 2200 M amp ,Or less On your timer when it goes off, definitely land!!
You can charge them to storage voltage (look it up for the amount of cells 1S/2S/3S/4S/5S/6S) or if you have smart ones, use the storage setting on the spectrum charger. Sorry, commenting while I watch.
Flying in the cold is a different animal. Your packs will deplete faster and your plastic parts will become brittle. So a crash will be much more devastating. I am NOT trying to talk out of it, just take that into consideration. Also, you can buy transmitter gloves (which is like a case with a USB charged heater) instead of actual gloves. And also as you said, your thumbs will start to stiffen which increases the likelihood of crashing. Take all that into consideration. Finally, make sure you clean your heli thoroughly because snow is water and water is not good for electronics.
Turn your headspeed up in stability mode to match idle up one. It will handle the wind better and fly the same as way as your idle up. Set your throttle curve and pitch curve in stability mode to match your idle up one curves. This way the helicopter will fly exactly the same in both modes except stability will self level and idle up one won’t. It will make learning easier.
I wouldn't do that normal mode has a 0 on the throttle so you can shut the motor off and a reduced negative pitch so you don't slam it into the ground. You're doing fine it's just practice.
You can also add stabilization to stunt 1 via forward programming and then set the same head speed for stunt 2 as for stunt 1. This way you maintain the normal mode for take-off and landing.
Storage charge them to 3.90 Volts every time. They do not like undercharge and full charge over a long time. There is a safety chip in the battery(after 3 days it will discharge down to 3.90 volts it will get a bit warm in the front) but you will never know. And read the manuals and safety instructions.
You gotta set a timer on your transmitter for your flights. You have to man. You run out of battery and there goes your heli . Don’t drain the battery lower than 20-25%. If not using the battery’s for a while store them at 3.8v. Always check to make sure they are charged before flight . $50 bucks you can get a Spektrum battery checker/servo checker . It will make life so much easier .
Last night? Dude you really don’t take care of your batteries. I know you are pressed for time but leaving them charged overnight is not good for them. Also as others have said make sure you check your battery level and don’t fly them to empty (LVC - Low Voltage Cutoff) and set your timers accordingly or set alarms since you have a SMART Heli you should be able to fly to milliamps consumed instead of to timer but AT LEAST do a timer.
Well as of now i don’t have anything to discharge them. Also i don’t fly them till they’re dead that’s why i land and check them. Also my alarm doesn’t work and I’ve been trying to figure out why. Sorry my man!
You need to set a timer for you’re flights,it should be in the manual,also no offense,but it’s like you keep talking about the same things over and over.
