Thanks for all the great videos. Thanks to you I've had a great summer flying my 330s and Fusion 360. Both tuned perfectly thanks to your advice. Forward Programming is a great feature once you get used to what it does. So thanks so much Justin!! keep posting!!
Just got one of these today. Didn't fly it yet. Just setting everything up and waiting on nicer weather. Thanks for all the information in your videos. Very helpful👍
Just ordered mine from Horizon yesterday. I'm a Disabled Gulf War Vet and Playing Guitar and RC Ground and Air are my Best Therapy. It's been awhile since I flew a Heli, had a Problematic Heli-Max 400, That spent more time in pieces than in the air,lol. Had another Collective pitch Heli I was able to fly,so,I'm hoping I still have the Right Stuff. 😎👍 As long as it's as Stable as it looks in your Demos, I should be OK with Scale Flight....3D isn't in my Skill set 😬😂. Wish me luck, I'll keep you UpDated! Thanks for your informative and helpful Demo Vids! 😎🙏👍
Thanks again! SOO much good info! I found that some folks do not realize that the "Forward Programming" menu will only appear when both the r/x and t/x are powered. It only took me 5 hours to figure that out. (my bad)
Lol! 11 years ago I learn how to fly those things by crashing and fixing! Over and over again! Flying those things is one of the best RC experience ever. This small birds make me think to buy a heli again!
Awesome just got the 330s rtf but the dxe seems to be disco. When trying to load and program app so eventually I ordered the ix12 to replace eventually my other dx6i feel that I'm gonna need some help on programming...lol good vid seen other of your vids awesome
I just got the fusion 360 3s and the NX8 transmitter. I have been trying without luck to map the FM switch with Safe on in the Normal mode. I have not had much luck with Horizon support to find out how to do this. Should be straight forward. The manual for the Heli uses different setting shown on HH video for the controller. Thanks
Hello Friend . I'm writing to you with a question because you know Hela well. Namely, my Blade 330S flies correctly, but when I change flight modes, the rotor revolutions are the same as in the 3 modes. I will add that the curve is set according to the instructions: 65%, 70% and 80%. Where to look for the cause?
Justin I could use some help setting up a 330s on an Nx8. I tried inputting the settings in the 330s manual but don't understand how to do the mix. Tried flying it but it doesn't auto level in normal mode. I also tried loading the pre-programmed 330s that is in the Nx8 but the settings are completely different and don't work right. Any input would be appreciated.
So is stability mode automatically assigned to normal mode or does it have to be turned on in forward programming? The reason I ask is that under SAFE in forward programming stability mode says OFF. I assume that means “turn off” and ON means “turn on”?
I would love a 300ish size lipo *only* heli to zip around with. Im more into speed and flybys than flips and such. Im not into drones, not cool enough for me.... The only thing killing heli's for me is the flight time which im guessing is only 5-10min? I do like this model but im unsure which heli would be best for what i would like and for longer flight times.
Your video are very informative, I have a question about this helicopter 330. Blade discounted this at the end of the year and then 2021 they brought it back but name it different they removed safe. Can you tell me if they improved it or made it less than what it was? thank you Parry
Does yours want to tilt in SAFE mode/Normal mode? My buddy just got one and im trying to help him with it, not much info. we already used a level to make sure it was level in procedure mode or whatever its called.Thanks
Justin, I have a 230 and 330 on the way for Christmas, thanks for your videos. I was thinking about getting the new nx-6 transmitter, would you recommend this one
Hallo . Bei mir zittert das Heck immer hin und her und bin im Normal Modus mit den Gain P 57 immer noch leichtes zittern. Hab zwei Stück 330S bei alle zwei Heck Zittern und links Weg Triften.
Coming from DJI drones, I'm curious, what's the flight times like with these helis? Before the drones, used to fly Blade products, but, I wanted something with a camera. I'm exploring going back to helis and fly scale. Not interested at all in flying 3D. Just love the looks of a helicopter and want to learn to fly collective pitch helis.
very much appreciate your input on this Heli ! are you able to increase the Head speed in stability mode ? or like the 230S you can add stability to UI1 ? I know on some Blade Heli's, they recommend you NOT alter settings for Normal/Stability mode. Looking forward to you getting it out to the field !
Thank you so much! I had my buddy that is my computer guy that I fly with updated my DX8g2 but it still don't have forward programming for that radio. I'm still not sure why it had stability on a few batteries and not on a few batteries after. I had checked all my switches and nothing else had changed. I'll have to eventually upgrade to a IX 12 sometime when I had the money. This definitely helps out a lot, now I just need to figure out how to get rid of my tail wag. Thank you again and great flying like always!
Hi Ray, I figured something out. Ok, Switch B can be assigned as Switch B or Flight Mode. I thought the Switch would be the same whether assigned as B or Flight Mode. It makes a difference. It must be assigned Flight Mode only. Also, make sure you have assigned Gear to Flight Mode. NOT B! I set up someone elses heli with B, and I had no Stability. Also, if you actually updated a DX8 gen 2, Forward Programming is in your Model Adjustment list. You may have to Auto Configure your Telemetry to get it to pop up. Check what firmware you have in your System menu. make sure it's the latest update. You don't need a new radio unless you want one. Thanks, Coe Show
@@rayduffield749 Go to telemetry in Model set up. At top, click on auto configure, and let it do it's thing. You have the Blade 330s bound, and the helicopter needs to be powered up for the Telemetry to Auto Configure, and for the Forward Programming to even show up on your Model Adjustment list. I just figured that out too, just now
@@CoeShow619 Thank you I got the forward programming to auto configure. I just need to figure out how to change the gain on the tail to get the wag out.
everytime i watch your videos i buy i new heli Horizon should be giving you comission %. Now if i can only fly and know how to setup my helis well that's another thing but been practicing on the RF9 sim i got for xmas
Something has happened with my 6250HX that I had to replace on my 330S. I was trying to adjust some settings to correct some drift. After doing a sensor calibration, that I don't really think worked, (only took a fraction of a second), now the controller is flashing red red red green over and over. I can go to forward programming but cannot control anything. I have rebound the singe receiver on port 1 of the controller. Nothing helps. I can go to servo setup and change the frequency of the servos and they activate, but won't move. Power down and back up and it has lost the servos again. About to pull my hair out. I have done a reset, which probably did more harm than good. Any suggestions?
Yes, so that 6250 is super fun right? I know what you mean. The calibration could not happen because the esc was beeping or servos twitching. It has to be completely still. Try using a 2s lipo with a servo connector on it to power up channel 1 only. Unplug the servos. Mark servo numbers with tape. Servos are 6vollt but the 6250 can handle up to 9 volts. Make sure 6250 is flat and not moving, and try calibration again. If that doesn’t work, email horizon and tell them about Pandora’s box. I agree, these problems need to be resolved. You can go way deeper and flash new 330s firmware with a spm3065 cable and a computer , but that’s pretty much millennial science too. I just avoid it. Try a ikon2 flybarless system if you go too nuts. It’s so simple my wife can do it.
I’m learning. Is there a standard set up for helicopter builds like a starting point ?or does each one come with a recommended starting point model specific ?
I see you have the ix12 with that 330s. It flew nice and smooth. I have the same two. I get a tail wag. It was sent back to horizon hobby after a crash. They said the tail wag was fixed but to adjust the forward gain to my liking! I got it back but the tail wag is still there. Any advice? Your 330s is steady! I also have the ix12...
Do you have any idea why my swash tilts forward on spool up in stability mode. Sometimes it tilts itself forward soo much that it will crash itself if I dont back off throttle. Alot of the time if I throttle down and back up it goes away. Thanks
Yep, you crashed hard. Rang its bell. So go to forward programming, system set up, have the heli level and flat as if it was flying shimmed on a table, and don’t shake or move, and hit calibrate, then hit complete. Let it reboot, unplug it. Plug it back in. Before all that, make sure you have no trim showing on screen from those trim tabs on your radio. They need to all be 0 in all flight modes before you start and always. Never use trim.
@@CoeShow619 It has never been crashed even lightly. I said if I dont throttle down it would crash. It only tilts after I start to throttle up in stability. Reduce throttle and it goes back level. I have calibrated it. I just unplugged the motor and played with the attitude trim and it seems to have stopped the weird tilting thing!
Tips for 330s. Go to Channel Assign. Make sure Gear is assigned to Flight Mode, not Switch B, even though it’s the same switch. If you have a Spektrum micro servo servo horn bag, it can use a servo arm that is one hole longer. It gives better tail authority. If it wags, set mechanical center with about 2 degrees right pitch. As seen in my RC Helicopter tips and tricks videos. It is a fun helicopter. Play with the new gyro and Forward Programming. PID is just like setting up a drone if you’ve done that before. Or watch a video on PID gain.
The manual for my 230s has the gear assigned to switch B.The 330s manual has it in flight mode, which is what I will set it to.Why the difference in the two? Thanks for the help.
I use a dx6 gen 2. On the safe adjust screen for attitude, it shows: "attitude trim" Roll 250 Pitch -250 It this what i need to adjust to get more pitch angle and roll angle in "safe" mode?
Make sure your transmitter is updated. Auto Configure in Telemetry screen. Now go to Forward Programming. Click on it. When it loads the menu, click Stability, now assign it to stunt 1 or 2 or whatever you want.
Hello, my name is manfred and i am from germany. I also have a 330S bnf and i'm using a DX8G2, my problem is how to set stability-mode because my helicopter does not work with it.
