Review - FMA's new Co-Pilot II

[nightflyr]

If you have auto trim set,you adjust your trims during hover with the CPII switched off, then switch it on and readjust as needed, now when you switch it off the bird should still be trimmed up

hi nightflyr.

ive just purchased my co- pilot 2, and been reading your posts and im hoping your posts will help me as i start getting more into the setup and tech side of the setup, i just done the quick setup and switch selection but i dont seem to notice any difference between on/off mode.

im sure there is something in this thread about it but cant seem to find it, any help would be great.

im running a raptor 30 v1 on a dx6i with a ar6200 reciever.

thanks

Hi:

Sorry, we had a run on these because they've been out of stock for around 30 days. Our partners only put a small portion of the production batch in to get things going. More are going in next week. If you place your order, it will ship out next week; otherwise, you can try back next week and you will find they'll be in stock.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi,

Yes, early testing of the original CPD4 was done on the "Lite Machine". The Co-Pilot system does not care if the pitch is fixed or not, it controls the cyclic pitch (forwards and backwards) and cyclic roll (right and left).

Hello Johnny, what kind of heli is that? I have never seen a head like that before, and fixed pitch? Wow, something different for sure.

[johnnycat500]

The head is from a multiplex funcopter Installed on a trex 450. Its the bomb

Does the copilot 2 work with pcm?
