I have the helicox unit.

Its pretty stable in my opinion. I have no regrets. There are a lot of features to set. Just need to keep vibration away and have a good tail servo.

Here goes a small video when I was setting up 3g unit on a windy day.

Tracks pretty well and heli feels very locked in.

Cheerz!

Hi erwhat.
I have one now. I'm using a new Futaba 7C rig installed in a Dyman Erazor 450 with FBL head kit.
I all has worked awesom on the bench. The gyro counters all the moves the frame does. Only problem I'm having now is the cyclic imputs are super slow to return to center. I have all the Tx stuff off like the manual says...but still having this problem.

I have an email into Helicox hoping for fix. I like to fly scale and all the scale vids I've seen with this system is spot on.

Hi w4llet,

Did you have any cyclic slow to center with your Helicox?? This is all new to me and that's the only problem (or maybe not a problem) I'm having.
I'm using a new Futaba 7C....love the radio.

Thanks

Heard from Helicox........slow to center on cyclic is normal.
