    Great video. Jeff let me suggest that you give us your settings and let us set up the heli just the same as you. Then if the roll rate is to slow turn this up. If your loops are to slow turn this up or down. The speed of the pirouette is your settings and if you want to have a faster or slower pirouette turn this setting up or down. Just a suggestion but you like a pretty fast heli so all we need to adjust this up or down for a great tune.

      Hey bob, that’s a great idea. A lot of my setup videos I will show how I set mine up but I will make sure I start including that more! Thanks for suggestion.

    Damn son! Education on point. I left helicopter stuff for a minute and doing FPV with Tiny Whoops. Mechanical tuning is almost absent (weight and thrust are paramount) but helicopter mechanics are way different. But PID tuning is always needed depending on weight, motor and prop size. Glad to see this. Totally understand.

      Thank you, it’s definitely needed to get the best flying model to you. Every Heli and setup is different and will need to be adjusted accordingly.

      @@westhobbiesrc8051 usually you don't have an option on smaller helicopters for PID tuning. My Blade Fusion 270 has PID tuning but I used the default settings and it works good, but could be better.
      On the smaller Blade, XK, Eachine, and the like kind of helicopters you only have two options! Cut weight or tighten the chassis. Sometimes, you can't do either. Usually you can "feel" a 10% weight loss. A blade Nano S3 is close to 30 grams, so dropping 3 grams is tough... And some don't mind a 10% increase if it doesn't induce a nose or tail heavy situation.

    A question if I may….. can a Neo vlink be used on a spektrum radio by plugging spektrum receivers into the neo? I believe you can with the non vlink version ?

    • @westhobbiesrc8051
      @westhobbiesrc8051  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thank you, James! I greatly appreciate it. Yes you can use a Leo with a spectrum radio by plugging it satellites into the side port, and telling it in the software to bind with spektrum personally, I don’t see the point in using a Vbar NEO with anything but V control just because you can’t have full use of the NEO with a spektrum radio like you can with Vcontrol

    Hi Jeff, if the Ikon 2/Brain 2 allows for such micro setups should we then put all dual rates at 100% and expo at 0% in the transmitter and only work on the unit setups? Thanks.

    Have you ever set your cyclic throws (in the setup menu where you set swash level and pitch) to more than the recommended 10°? I have an issue with my tb70 that the flip speed is not increasing even tho I am increasing the rotation speed on elevator and aileron. Maybe I should increase cyclic throw to like 12°? Do you have any experience with that? Cheers

    • @westhobbiesrc8051
      @westhobbiesrc8051  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hmmm! That’s a strange one, I’ve never had that issue before. You can try increasing the cyclic throw just make sure there is no binding in the swash plate. Let me know if that helps!
