| Any other information you can give us on the setup would be a good place to start...
Stock setup? - picoboard, geared tail/separates, direct drive tail Motor setup? - brushed/brushless
If you're using the picoboard, play with the mixing pot and see if that makes any difference. Once you get that close to where you like it then adjust any drift or wag of the tail with the gain/sensitivity pot. A good starting place on both of those adjustments is between 75 - 80%.
If your friend is working with separates...then that's a whole other ball of yarn. You'll have to play with revo mixing and a bunch of other mixing programs on you computer radio.
As far as the headspeed issue goes, you'll find that with fp helis you'll have much less headspeed than, say, your eco8. If you don't have enough to even lift off the ground, then you might want to check if the battery is up to par. Try cycling it a few times on a charger that has a cycling function and see if that helps. Or it may be just as simple as you need a new battery.
Try the pots first and get the tail working then deal with the headspeed. |
