Have fun flying

grant22vids you’re welcome

+RC Heli Deutsch Thanks

Make sure you have latest firmware, check cg, level swash, do calibration then trim flight

@@JJInvertedProduction How do you know if you have the latest firmware? You mean the transmitter? How do you update them? On the Spektrum website? I just ordered a 230 smart and I’m wondering if my DX6E will allow me to take full advantage of the telemetry. Apparently it was updated last year? How often do these need updating and how do you know they do? Thanks.

+Michael Ernst Watch my video and make sure you are moving the sticks in correct position

+DOCMACK Is it centered in servo adjustment mode?

+JJInvertedProduction Yes in servo adjustment mode all servos are centered perfectly, but once i save settings they revert back. ill post a video of exactly what happens.

The swash is always moving, HH says its normal. Mine moves as well. This has cause some issues taking off having to adjust heli while spooling up. If you have experience it shouldn't be a problem. If you are on Facebook come join my 230 s page, good place to talk to others with the 230 s

+jakeboynz It has to be very close at 0 pitch. Its hard to check positive and negative pitch because the gyro is always moving the swash around so I test fly. Do push outs upright and inverted, adjust pitch travel in radio until both directions feel the same/similar. Good luck

JJInvertedProduction Thanks for the reply. Test flied today and seemed to be all ok. Couldn't figure out how to change pitch travel on my DX6i. Goes only to +125%...Nothing in the minus. Jake

Sorry I don't have one. Are you on my 230s Facebook group? Join and post some pics you we can help you

+Martin Williams Yes that is normal, its Safe trying to correct

+Martin Williams It will do this on take off and landing and you have to correct it are it will tip over. Watch my video on take off options

Hello, Adam: This sounds like the same issue I am having with my Blade 230s v2. I had to swap all 3 Servos to the SPMSH 3055 from the original SPMSH 3050.Servos because HH discontinued the SPMSH 3050 Servos. Anyway if you watch JJ's video closely, when he comes out of Servo Adjustment Mode his swashplate is no longer level and his elevator Servo also raises up as well. My question then is . . . , is this behavior normal? With the swash being so far off from being level how can this work. I even powered off the 230s and reinitialized the heli and the swash is still being tilted upward. I even tried creating a new model on the radio and used the DX6 settings from the 230s manual only to see the same behavior. When I am in Servo Adjustment Mode all 3 Servo Arms are at 90 degrees and perpendicular to the main shaft. I have been trying to work with HH but still have not come up with a solution.

@@josephrogina3865 it appears that when it spools up it levels off, so I’ve been told. Still it does not help eliminate the drift

Can I assume you have already checked for 0 pitch at mid stick? I also heard / read that the 230s will have some small amount of drift in flight but should be nominal.

@@josephrogina3865 same problem. slowly getting the drift out. but i noticed today that the throttle hold position plays a big part. in 'hold on' i can level the arms but when i put switch in normal the swashplate attitude changes. so i am adjusting for throttle normal.

Its Wheetie try adjusting travel in radio

Try to move cyclic down

+DOCMACK Try assigning a switch to AUX 2 and use it to get into servo centering

+5hanes My 230 s would have flown out of the box because settings were very close. I had to make small adjustments to level the swash. I was shooting video through out my pre flight check. At $250 its not expensive however cost enough for me to double check everything. I feel confident saying the majority of HH RTF helicopters will fly out of the box. Keep in mind this was a bind and fly so I had to setup my radio and bind it to the 230. Plus HH test fly these helicopters but don't try much more than hovering so I want to check everything to be confident it is ready for 3D.

+JJInvertedProduction Thanks for taking the time to explain. I have been practicing with the MSR and MSRX. The 230s will hopefully be a step up when I buy one. I just get frustrated with the technical side of things; I dial in recommended settings on my TX but have no real idea what they mean, even after constantly looking up definitions and advice online. I just feel like im in over my head, but at the same time I love these things. I'm still trying to get my head around Lipos. I just hope the technical side of things will eventually make more sense. I feel like I need an engineering degree just to understand your video. Hopefully one day it'll all become clear

+5hanes Further: I will be buying the BNF version and will set it up as the instructions tell me, but understanding what I am inputting in to my dx6i is another matter.

aaronjm1 come join my FB group for 230 m.facebook.com/groups/901445429949195

aaronjm1 I visited my sister out in Hawaii a few times over the past few years. We would always go to a AMA sanctioned club field near the Marine Corp base on the east side of Oahu. If you're near there, there's an expert CP helo guy there that can help you flying the big ones, 700 size. Or if you aren't on Oahu, look up AMA clubs near you.

The swash tilting on take off is normal instability mode

tdeloriea yes,very normal if you are not on a perfectly flat surface.

On my DX6i I have to wiggle the sticks in the corners to get it to work.

Don Shaw I got it to work but the DX6i is different.

+rich jones Most flb systems have a servo centering mode where the servos stay centered so you can make adjustments. Like on the 230 s while in this mode you can move the throttle and nothing happens.

It's compensating for tail spin/torque

I assume thats not normal, correct?

+Gary Bennett yes

I've done a number of trim flight to correct it, but nada. :-(

+Gary Bennett have you done the 4.22 update ?

What parts did you need? If you need many different parts I'm not surprised about £100. The individual parts are quite cheap

@@mrbushpilot Right now I do not need any parts, all the helicopters are flying! thanks any ways

jea405 before

Thank you. And Sorry but i'm very new at cp helis

jea405 I just put throttle hold on , it's a safety issue
