useing gy 401 and 9254.
Heli holds rock solid normal and inverted climbouts, flips and aileron rolls.
I did about 3 or 4 forward and backward hard collective flips and a couple of times my tail just let go and frightened the hell out of me, managed to gather it up ok each time, but it was just lucky I was high up and not at 10 ft or it may have hit the deck.
The only thing Ive changed is im running about 10 deg negative and 10 positive where before I had about 9 each way, and also a bit more swash as I needed a bit more of these.
Should I crank the gain up???
Its a 500 size electric heli and im running 80 percent gain in my TX.
Any suggestions, im just starting to get the hang of flips and rolls close to the ground but Im not good enough yet to deal with a tail rotating at the same time.

listen for headspeed drops. Any loss of headspeed effects the tail. Either manage the collective better, ad a cyclic throttle mix, add a govner. I know my firts flips were stick bagners, settle down and manage collective. If you still have drops on hard cyclic you should add a cyclic throttle mix. If all else fails add a govner.

It would be nice if you wouldn't double post topics, then we don't have to pick and choose which one to follow and reply in

Plus, I think it's a rule.

sorry to double up, I got a bit to exited on my new found ability to do a bit of 3d low down and wanted answers fast before I lost my nerve, its been a long time comeing for me to get it down near the ground and its what ive been dreaming of for the better part of 3 years now.

also I cant figure out how to get rid of topics, I can make them closed but dont know how to completely get rid of em of the forum. Ill try and see what I can do.
