| Rob, update as mentioned in PM sent to you;
I've got my HC Rigid back on my Trex600e and, together with some beter tail settings, and it is working great (much better than my old fut401 imop).
I have tested the 'bail-out' mode as few times now(fixed mode on switch at 50% horiz gain on down switch, 0% pos mode on up (rigid only). Works pretty good imop. Puts the heli into a pretty level hover, with some drift, and you need to be ready to control throttle since depending on when you bail-out, you might end up in an inverted hover.
My only worry about this bail-out proceedure is that if the heli gets caught in any really high rotations, this might confuse the sensors, leading to a crash. HC support has warned me about this and suggestted I use Extreme mode (rigid with no stablization) which does not have these limits. That's what I'm using now (extreme mode). Kind of questionable about the benfit of stablisation for an intermediate flyer like myself anyway. Maybe a bit better for newbies imop.
Personally, while I've enjoyed playing with flybarless, I would not convert another heli until newer, cheaper, better, more user-friendly systems come out. Still, happy I've tried it out and like the HC rigid unit. I'm sure the V-bar would have worked fine too.
Cheers,
