Crazy Hobby - basic for flying helicopters

Basic 3D Set-Up

Here is the order in which you will have to set up your helicopter:-
1. Reverse Servos
2. Check and set up a pitch window mechanically.
3. Centre your pitch servo and set up control throws to match your pitch window and lengthen or shorten pitch linkage so ½ your pitch window has the servo arm centred.
4. Test hover.
5. Set up your Normal mode or hover mode pitch program.
6. Set up your normal mode hover throttle program.
7. Set up your Stunt Mode Pitch program.
8. Set up your Stunt mode Throttle program.
9. Stunt Mode trim settings.
10. Set up a Throttle Hold mode.
And we got to the 7th step, Setting up a stunt mode.

Setting up Stunt Mode Pitch Program.
7. Copy your full throttle pitch percentage through to your new stunt mode at the full throttle position.
- Copy your hover pitch percentage though to ¾ stick in your stunt mode.
- Set you ½ stick position to 0 degrees

- What ever the pitch is for upright hover make your ¼ stick position in your stunt mode the inverted opposite of it. Eg. 5.5 degrees in the hover then make ¼ stick -5.5 degrees.
- Same as above but make your bottom stick position the same as your full throttle but inverted. Eg. If 8.5 degrees is the maximum climb out pitch the engine will pull then set -8.5 degrees at your bottom stick position in your stunt mode.

That just about covers the pitch setting, as you can see not a lot to it. When you fly off and you switch into stunt mode if done at full throttle like you should, nothing should change but your stunt trim which I will talk about later.
