THX1138 Elite Veteran Location: Plainfield, IN
| Ok campers, with a lot of help from Ink and some trial and error I have my new toy flying pretty damn good. I haven't really started to get after it much but it certainly is the most powerful heli I have flown to date.
  
 
So here we go...
I still have a tail drift. It is very slight but certainly noticeable. I have the cyclics trimmed out very well and I will be happy with a little more tweaking. I am running 1950HS and the engine is still on the rich side but breaking in nicely. At this HS the nose will drive to the right. When I slow the HS to 1800 the drift is slower but it is the opposite direction. I have adjusted the common gain up to 100 and the drift is still about the same.
Should I set up my gov to run the same HS in idle 1 and 2? Then use the trim buttons to get the tail to hold still?
How do the P, I, and D gains effect the heli? At what point to I try to adjust them to get the desired tail performance?
