FOR FUTABA MODE 1 USER (Please take note)Select SWASH 1 on your Helicopter Parameters. Do not use SR-3 as this tandem does not apply conventional CCPM. For MODE 1 User, IMPORTANT : SWAP the ELEVATOR - RED Wire (CH 2) with the PITCH - BLUE Wire (CH 6), the arrangements in the manual are for JR and SPEKTRUM users. I need further confirmation if anyone found this otherwise. See below :

Settled down after the weekend... got a chance to squeeze some time to re-do the test rig. Previously test hop with the fuselage proves to be a hassle for adjusting the GU368 inside the fuse.... so decided to redo the whole test framework using a 400 size heli LANDING Gear. Why 400 size? Because that is the only gear which allows a better clearance of the motor underneath.   |

a 2mm ply is required to raise the whole frame higher for more horizontal plane as without it the back drive seems lower.   |

I will be changing the HITEC HS-45HB to HYPERION DS-09SCD Digital servos as currently I have 2 HS-45HB experiencing hunting at the center line. One on the front Aileron and the other at the back elevator.  |

Very nice Capt and I must say that I know zilch about helicopters except they seem to be mechanical nightmares AIYO. I am sure when the covers are all on it is going to look mega and fly well, well done sir.

Thanks Dennis... PATIENCE is the essence. I have overhauled all the servos to HYPERION ATLAS HP-DS09-SCD.  |

and here is the TEST HOP Video on my first few attempts.
After a few tweaks on the GU368, I managed a little controlled hovering... will be zeroing in on the GYRO next...

Well done Capt. I suspect that you were waggling those sticks like crazy, from this flight it looks like that once it is sorted it could be a nice Heli congratulations sir.  |
