CornwallRC Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) Brand new dx6i ordered, just about to go on Hobbyking and buy 2 of those batteries and will look for an adapter like said to start with as I don't want to have a void warranty on any thing until I know it works. Had the wife on my back this morning as I did tell her it would only cost me Edited March 16, 2013 by CornwallRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Usually, any RC project is going to cost double what you expected it to do, even if you REALLY carefully cost it. That's life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's life Too true.. These e-books. I have never bought one before but I assume you buy them and they get emailed to you then you can read them or print them out put them on disc etc? The putting them on disc is what I am interested in lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornwallRC Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 He he more questions Reading through the ebook about dx6i settings, its not 100% clear if I will have to enter or some how change my helis pitch to match the curve. or If changing the curve does this by its self If i do I will order a digital pitch gauge today.

stevek32 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yes eventually you will change the pitch and throttle curves, put dx6i at 50%, remember to unplug the motor from the esc very important, and set and adjust your blades to 0% on the gauge, all being well at bottom stick should have around -12% and top stick +12. But this is where it gets more complicated, you wont want this for normal flying because what it means if if you panic your reaction is to drop the throttle this will then mean you put -12% on it and drive it into the ground. matching your curves is simple enough, you want to get the best from your motor, its no good trying to take off if your motor is only 25% spin and you blades are +pitch, its all about wind resistance against the blades, that's why you need to match curves. likewise if the motors spinning at 100% and your still in - pitch all your doing is draining your battery, but as a after thought you need a high head speed for the gyro to work and hold the tail.

CornwallRC Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 My head is about to explode I think lol, I am hoping my dx6i turns up today so I can have a play and hopefully clear a few things up by having a play with the settings on that. Got hospital appointment this morning though so much more on my mind. ow and will phone my local hobby shop, see if they have a digi pitch gauge, if not will order online today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
