    I haven't found anything on if it is possible to fly the model with no idle up AND no stability. I wouldn't feel comfortable to take off with idle up but always relying on stability to take off and land feels wrong.

    Now that I've been flying mine a bit could you not have just used forward programming and adjusted the flight controller. There's calibration settings and their for the drift… That's what I did and my 230 hovers perfect… And it was quick. But believe me I am no expert I did find the blade 230 had horrible tail rotor Hold… So I had to learn the PID algorithm and the numbers I programmed are nowhere near what the factory puts in. I now have a better tale hold I was getting large blowback when aggressive

    Hello sir; How are you sir? what is the model of this helicopter because I would love to learn how to fly those types of aircraft. I am old, retired military, served my country for 21 1/2 years and deployed 3 times. I do enjoy remoted aircraft. Because these aircraft are very expensive, I would like to know what type, model if you may please sir, thanks. I will keep this video for guidance how to fly and maintain this type or any other aircraft.....Thanks.. Respectfully; Andy Disable Vet Texas

It used to do it on spool up as well. I’ve adjusted the main blades many times and can’t seem to get it right although I’ve made it considerably better. Please help.

    I use the blue on my RC crawler trucks, especially important on driveshaft screws. TIP: heat will help you remove the screw if it's seized, on 1/10 i use a butane torch when required, on 1/24 a soldering iron is best. DO NOT use loctite on screws you suspect are cross threaded or have a damaged head or are stripped in any way as you will NOT be able to remove them later as loctite needs some force. Careful with 1/24 screws as they sometimes can't take the force required to undo a loctite bond (from personal experience, I had to drill a couple out recently)

    I had my first heli crash in 36 years because I switched from a servo with a plastic output shaft to a metal one and I forgot to locktite the servo arm screw, and of course it came undone. Heli rolled inverted then plummeted nose first into the dirt...with much laughter from the local kids. I'm just glad no one got hurt. 🇦🇺

    Nice banked and coordinated turns are not easy. Don’t beat yourself up because it takes lots of practice, at least it did for me. The tapping is something that really helps limit over controlling the bank. Like any other type of maneuver, at some point it will click and you wonder why did I have such a problem. The you start hurricanes and it starts all over again. 😂

    Grub screw came loose on the tail shaft so you lost tail drive and it spun. Possibly no Loctite on the grub screw or it wasn't located in the dimple/flat on the shaft.
