Hi guys.

just got my Helicommand Rigid for my Vibe 500e 3 weeks ago.
Installed it last week and went today for a test flight. WOW.
Couple of little adjustments on the linkage and everything works perfect.
It is Plug and Play. I was so afraid that I would have problems reading all the posts about how hard it is to set up.
I flew the Heli in Position Mode and Altitude Mode and all was great. No hands needed.

Good to hear that the setup was easy, may I ask what type of radio & receiver you are using, If by chance it's a 9ch JR - Please share how you installed & programmed it.

Have fun man,

I will get their one day.

Hi Flame747,

I use a Futaba 10CHP 2.4 GHz and a RS8something RX some 8 channel receiver from Futaba.
Let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything.

I don't know..Just seems setting up an HC with a Futaba works very easy first time out..
Mine was the same way

+1 on Futaba. I think they are much easier to use with these systems - more versatile.
