Tips for "tuning"

[Gouie]

Hey everyone, not new to the forum but it's definitely been a while. I am very new to Helicopters though and could use some general direction. I've recently picked up an axe 100 SS and have run into a problem out of the gate; the machine banks hard left immediately after startup. No doubt this is simply an adjustment that needs to be made. I'm hoping that someone can point me in the direction of some learning material to help me setup the heli.

Thanks in advance!

When you plug the helicopter in get it on the ground asap.

The reason the swash is going left.
The flybarless system is trying to adjust the bank angle of the helicopter buy giving it a little left aileron, Because the helicopter is on the ground it cannot tilt back to the right
when the computer gave it a little left the flybarless expects the helicopter to move and when it does not move the flybarless gives it more nothing happens and the flybarless gives it more and more and more aileron. This happens at about 600 times a second so the swash just leans all the way over.

Plug in the helicopter and begin spooling up.
give the helicopter a little right aileron and continue spooling up to just bellow takeoff power.

Watch the helicopter very close! It's up to you to make sure you lift the helicopter off the ground without banking right or left, forward or backward.

You will need to pay very close attention and make appropriate corrections as the pitch starts to come on!

You helicopter is a little different, but works the same. You will have a better understanding of whats going on if you give this a look.
