Happy New Year's everyone

Can anybody tell me if I can use the mainshaft from 4G6s on 02s? Because I have a bunch. Most of the parts look exactly the same as 4G6.
I am going to order 02s without a Tx, can somebody post what is the standard setting for 2801 pro?

Ha! My living room is not that big! I would probably kill the cat....

I wish we had a indoor hanger or something around here but many here have looked. I wish the government would open up the old blimp hangers here is Socal for us to use

You could try and get a group together to petition the local polictical people to try and get them re-opened for recreational use. I know with watching the difficulties a new club has gone through just to get an airfield here in australia wasnt easy. Things like this never are, but you can only try.

The other option is to maybe get a group together to share the cost of renting a court in an indoor basketball court.

Even though you are in stunt mode did you setup your throttle curve for stunt mode? You cant leave the stunt mode throttle curve 0,25,50,75,100... I set mine to a flat 100 percent across all points.

Bob, thank you. My stunt mod was set at 0,25,50,75,100. I will change it to flat 100 percent.

Thanks again,

Hi Bob, so I went back out to the field and there is a significant difference in head speed with the 100 percent flat throttle curve,wow!!! As you can tell I am new at this.

I still have a problem. I started to do a back flip, got upside down and the heli tail started spinning by itself. I was able to land it carefully without breaking anything. I believe it has something to do with the gyro. Looking in the manual for the devo 6, I had the Mix Switch on 75%. Do you think I should reduce it to 50%? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,
J

Go into the gyro menu and increase the % for gyro gain. By default I recall it is way to low.
