Make your RC heli easier to fly: BEGINNERS guide.

In tis video we talk through 5 basic ways you can control the feel of your rc helicopter and make it easier to fly when you're learning.

This is the first visual demonstration I have found of how expo works. I understood the theory just fine, but sometimes seeing is believing. Well done, sir!

[philippelejeune]

I agree with Tim, this is the first easy to understand video on D/R and Expo settings for beginners! Thank you!

[dakzer]

I am a quad beginner and found this video explained PID concepts clearer than they do in the quad world. Thank you

Another "must read" !!! I got my 230s Smart in a good place with both mechanical setup and calibration. Basic tuning with very little done has made it predictable and solid.
My 150s Smart is almost there too, just a little more fiddling and it will be solid
But the Fusion 180 Smart is a different beast. I have done a lot of with the basics. Still would feel a little disconnect, not solid, kind floaty. Been messing with the PID tuning, mostly P and I, nothing with D. I think your explanation will help. Belt driven tail has me learning though....thanks again for the video.

Excellent Video. Wish I had this a couple years ago. Very clear and to the point. Thanks.

[isaiasgomez]

Thanks you sir, you just saved me alot of time. Straight to the point. That's what I like.

[steveshawks]

I could have done with this video a few years back! Great explanation, well done.

230S....gonna be my 1st RC heli...making a deal this week. Got a vid on how to setup a "better" transmitter for the Blade? I have an NX8+

[jgrc]

really good video and I find the spectrum radio not usable I just grew up playing video games so I did a radio m boxer and it was really good

[polemagnetfpv]

WoW everything I was wondering about. Thanks Great Job

[petrbaxant]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. As I see, you are fun to the Blade heli. I have experience only with Blade 150FX. Then I buy M1 from OMP. Now, one of my friend offer me Blade 330. Aginst to OMP M4. Do you have some recomendation for the begginer, who strats with small heli and want to buy something bigger? Is it better buy something like 220 (M2) od go to the 380 and higher level directli? I havent experience with bigger heli then with 300mm rotor diameter

[gregoryosen]

I just bought the 330S RTF version and tried to fly yesterday, but could not even take off. As soon as I start slowly giving it throttle it starts leaning to the right and if it just starts to lift off the blades hit the ground. I will start trying to figure it out, but your video should be a help. Thanks

[andrewcasillas]

Ok I have a Fw200 and this is my first Heli and want to start trying to fly on manual. What should do first to help with the controls as I am on the RTF controller. I was thinking turning head speed down but that’s all I can really do I think.

[alexrobertson]

just an FYI you can mechanically adjust the stick tension etc to your liking.

[jtkeys]

Thank you for this. My blade 230sv2 which now MH main frame coming 80$ more lol purposes like a dolphin. Lower pitch tiny help, but it’s annoying . Any advice ? Reduced battery it calms down. Maybe the upgraded motor. 2526/4500 believe. Next move back stock motor . Stock pinion. One thing I had it mid stick ready to pop smooth as glass, still bogs

[aubreyreid]

Can u do a video on fw200 setup whit nx10

[jentjedragonfly]

He Man Thank for the nice video. And is the Spektrum DX6e a good transmitter to start with? I`m going to order one as soon as it`s back in stock

[DavidLoewenthal]

will echine e6 transmitter work on my echine e120 rc heli

[GrotrianSeiler]

Great presentation. Flying a helicopter is heady stuff. Most videos are overly presumptive, which is never helpful. Clearer explanations make for fewer crashes.

[darkracer]

if you are going to explain pid. then don't say bullsh*t

people google was PID tuning is.
it's something that people do to fine tune servo motors and heating devices.

basicly you are telling a servo motor to move x amount.
and with pid tuning you will tell the software how HARD/FAST it needs to correct (so apply more or less voltage). how much it needs to anticipate approaching it's final position and thus slow down to be able to stop exactly where you told it to.
and how hard it needs to try and hold that position. (it could move to position and go full voltage trying to hold it there. or basicly drop all power and hope it just stays there on it's own)

you heard his helicopter make a whining sound when he was showing us the angle of the dual rates right?
yeah that's servo whining.
that means this guy has no goddamn clue what pid tuning is and how it's supposed to be done.

google it. because this is just a really quick and dirty explaination.
it's not even in the right order.

(also you are not directly programming the servo's you are programming the flight controller in relation to it's gyro readings.)


to anyone reading this right now. i advise not watching any of this youtuber's video's. i had to complain like this in a another video aswel.
he doesn't know half of what he's talking about most of the times. and you will probbably mess something up if you follow his advice.
