Flew it as scale with this today. Feel free to try.and provide feedback.

Pitch curve Normal/idle up at 35, 48.5, 62, 71, 80
Throttle curve 0,75,75,75 and 85 flat

I really like this feels like I am flying a model.

Flew my new Redbull three times today..(finally no wind here). I used jaybyrds radio setup and it works much better than manual setup. I re-named it Redbulk because it flies like its grossly overweight. But that's ok because I like the scale like feel. Its a nice change from darting around with my 130x. However I was caught off guard a bit coming in from fff....Tonns of cyclic needed to slow it up..lol.

Here is a body mod I did to keep hatch open.
goo c/f rod inside hatch.
The rod retracts inside body when hatch is closed and extends out to position when opened.

Apparently the designer of the Red Bull 130X was blessed with a third hand. Without that it's nearly impossible to install the battery!

My solution isn't as 'elegant' as yours - I use a piece of foam to prop the front open - but it works. Sort of 'crude, but effective'... I plug the battery in hanging outside the fuselage, let it initialize and then attach the battery to the tray.

CG of Chuck Aaron's Red Bull chopper is nose heavy. He explains that its in case of bad orientation or stalling the nose will fall first enabling him to regain control more easily.

wish I could use that but when they asked what country I live in and when I selected Canada it informed me that it is not valid for me
