G110 gyro setup dx6i

Is there anything you can tell me to help me make my decision? The CopterX stuff is mechanically sound. It is mostly compatible with Trex parts. The greatest difference you can make is in the electronics. The mechanics are "good enough" but you can create a real problem with cheap electronics even on the Align it would be an issue - so yes, you can go with the CopterX and expect good quality - mechanically anyway.

I would not advise buying package deals - pick your own stuff, especially the radio - the radio is your primary equipment for the hobby - get a good one.

The 6EX lacks some features which are pretty important in helicopters, but it will work - just won't be good for long term. Post a Comment. Welcome to Jazzy's Flight Deck! Are you a beginner RC airplane flier? If you are, I hope to provide valuable information to help you get off the ground! RC flying can be very frustrating, and this is quite normal, so don't let it stop you from enjoying this wonderful hobby! Once you get your plane up there, I promise you will be happy you did it!

Please let me know if there's anything you'd like to see here or if you have any questions. Over and out! Jasmine jasmine at "don'tspamme" netzero dot com.

Saturday, July 26, E-Flite Blade This is my E-Flite Blade On the second flight, the tail servo stripped in mid-air for some reason, and the pitch servo stripped on the resulting crash. The overall feel and performance of the helicopter was vastly improved by these upgrades. I crashed it into a fence one day and had to re-build the whole thing.

Instructional videos of how to build it are on Vimeo search "Blade Rebuild". Here's the videos - first one is recently, but before the crash. After the videos are my radio settings for the Blade and DX7 radio. Blade Light 3D from Jasmine on Vimeo. Timer: 6 minutes - gives me time to land No programmable mixes are entered.

From a pure growth potential the Spektrum DX6i is hard to beat. Any good computerized radio will have model memory now a days and can be used for helis and fixed wing aircraft. DX6i radio aside, there are many outstanding features that this little boasts:. Other Items Included: E-Flite This one is actually not too bad. It has a cooling fan and the balance voltage readings are consistently precise with less than 0.

Flying The Blade Features and specs are nice to know, but you can get those anywhere. Absolutely without a doubt - YES! Even with the added weight of the training gear on, the climb out rate is very impressive — better than most nitros I have flown with training gear on.

You know what I was thinking — yup, this little bird will handle a scale fuselage no problem with the reserve power and flight times it was boasting. Ok — how about sport flying. Take that training gear off, and switch to sport mode, time to start shaking a bit me, not the heli.

I should start off by talking about the G gyro seeing that I have not mentioned it yet. This was the biggest unknown to me when I purchased the kit. I have flown with less than good gyros in the past and a gyro can make or break an otherwise good helicopter.

I am glad to report the G is the decent match for the Blade The G is a full function heading hold gyro with remotely selectable gain and yaw rate modes. The G is very locked in, even in substantial crosswinds. Fast pirouettes stopped on a dime with no tail wag — perfect gain settings from the factory. The stock DS75 digital servo on the tail rotor works fine for general flying, but it is slow to react when you start pushing sport or light 3D flying. Aggressive climb-outs will cause noticeable heading deviation as the slower DS75 servo catches up and corrects for the heading change.

Upgrading to a faster tail specific tail servo makes such a huge improvement over the stock DS As I said, it is fine for when you are just learning, but to get the most out of the G, you need a 0.

The G gyro will exhibit a small amount of drift throughout the flight as it warms up or cools down; but again, for a low cost gyro that is boasting features once only seen in high end gyros, the performance is acceptable. I only had to give a few clicks of rudder trim at most to sort out any drifting that was occurring - certainly not up to the performance standards of an Align GP or Spartan DS gyro, but for the price - pretty good.

I was a little concerned how hard a smaller size helicopter would be to see while flying large fast circuits. The high visibility yellow pod and tail fins really do a good job improving overall sight contact. This really boils down to a cost thing - a moderate crash on any of my other larger birds will easily set me back several hundred dollars.

The blade is now my "aerobatic practice bird" since parts are so inexpensive and easy to get. Low replacement parts cost and availability is probably the single greatest attribute this little heli has going for it. Like all size helis, the Blade gets a little tricky to fly when the wind picks up.

The heli is so light, the translational lift changes bounce it around quite a bit. The added weight of training gear or a fuselage will certainly tame things down, but any sort of wind, especially a gusty wind when you are learning should be avoided at all costs.

First off, it is only available in a RTF ready to fly kit. There is no option of building it yourself something I think is beneficial.

I know this is market driven as almost every other "entry level" bird out there are all pre-built and pre-flown. A noteworthy feature of the Blade is the inclusion of a Spektrum DX6i 2.

Advantages of such a system include the aforementioned 2. The transmitter even includes a countdown timer to avoid the possibility of a crash due to a discharged battery; it is factory set for for the Blade 3D. This value is for aggressive, full-throttle flying; fast forward flight and hovering gives times closer to six minutes, but caution should be exercised to avoid overdischarge of the battery.

Separate manuals for the airframe, radio and gyro are included as is a 1. The fan switches on when a battery's balancing lead is plugged in and switches off after the battery is charged or an error detected. The main connections on the supplied battery and ESC are the "EC3" type common across Horizon Hobby's product lines, but can be swapped to the modeler's choice of connectors if desired.

Prewired male EC3 connectors are available from E-flite should one wish to build an adapter in lieu of removing the factory male connector. A "plug-n-play" or "PNP" version without the transmitter or receiver is available for those wishing to use an existing helicopter-compatible transmitter.

An almost ready-to-fly airframe is available as well for those wishing to add their own electronics. Buyers of the ready-to-fly model should be aware of a recall of the Spektrum DX6i transmitter; this recall affects other models with the same radio as well as stand-alone radio systems.
