T-Rex 500 flight reportI've finally got a chance to rebuild my T-Rex 500 and fly today. I had the v1.02 firmware loaded, and changed a couple of other things (torque tube conversion, Scorpion 1900 kv motor, new Hitec 5425 servos vs Futaba 9650s, and relocated the SK360 directly below the main shaft), but the two flights I had in almost 100*F were good with nothing weird to report. Flips, rolls, loops, stall turns, and inverted work as normal except a much quicker cyclic response. Someone else noted that I didn't lose any headspeed while doing those things, although since I am using a new motor and always fly with a governor, I don't know if that is much different that before. I do need to tweek my pitch curve to settle out hovering, and perhaps drop my hiller decay down as well - I feel that there is a lot more work maintaining a stationary hover now than when I had a flybar on.
I've attached a screenshot of my settings, if anyone who knows more than me can suggest settings to settle out hovering. Otherwise, I am quite happy with the way it is flying now and hope to get some more air time after the weather cools down a bit.
