      Yes that's a wise move Cliff, saying that I fitted that FC6250HX on a Trex 500 that I made DFC and it worked faultlessly, I fitted the 470lp with a Microbeast Pro which worked fab too😄👍

    I have been flying my OMP M1 and M2 for a while without the stabilization. I would like to build a helicopter and the Align Trex 470lp could be my choice. If I do get the 470lp, would there be a stabilization button for my first few flights?

    • @IansRCExploits
      @IansRCExploits  2 года назад +1

      Hi, that all depends on what Flybarless cintroler you get!! If you get the Spektrum FC6250HX you would get SAFE that you could put on a panic button, with the BeastX and Ikon as standard you wouldn't get Stabilisation mode and would have to pay to upgrade both of them to include stability mode!! So in light of this the Spektrum system seems more expensive than the other choices but when you factor in the cost to upgrade the others they come out about the same!! I have never used the Ikon but have used both the Spektrum and BeastX offerings 😀👍

    As something to try on one of your helis you dont fly, grab yourself an Ardupilot compatible flight controller and give that a blast as an FBL controller.
    They can do full gps and compass guided stuff inc RTH but you dont need to do that and you can use them simply as a FBL controller without a GPS and Compass and you just tell the software to allow arming without them, Ardupilot allows absolute control over literally every conceivable adjustment and trim and ive been very impressed with the heli setup even though i already knew Ardupilot from planes.
    you can pick up Omnibus F4 pro Boards for only £15 from china, i have loads of them and even have one controlling my Ardupilot Antenna tracker!

      @@IansRCExploits for the Ardupilot based 450 I've been working on, the fc has gone under the frame, it isn't a big fc and does not look out of place there.
      The gyros are all integrated into the fc, only GPS and compass are external if you want to run them (I am) and that can go on the location traditionally used for a gyro on a flybar heli.
      The only thing you do have to add is a regulator to power the 5v rail for the servos but tiny 3A regulators are like £2 from China, the rest of the board is powered by its own internal regulator directly from the lipos voltage and the esc connects to the board on the other side of the current sensor which if used for fpv or autonomous flight would give you voltage and current on screen as well as all the other parameters including artificial horizon but although I'm fully kitting it out, I don't actually intend on using it for fpv.
      The GPS is more for a party trick than anything else and that any craft with GPS make my on screen satellite mapping work on my transmitter which is just too cool to not have, that same script also provides battery, current, altitude, artificial horizon ect, ect on my tx too, open tx rocks and I can't believe I took so long to make the move!
      If you ever do, avoid the jumper T16 or T18, both have issues, get the radiomaster TX16s, it's the better radio and Im very pleased with it unlike my jumper T16 which has already developed two faults I've had to correct and it's just a backup radios these days.

      @@IansRCExploits something else, you said your struggling to make stuff fit as it is, remember the fc would replace the fbl unit, it's not in addition, you don't need to find extra space!
      The control it gives over the setup and tune of the heli is incredible and as said, you can use it as a stand alone fbl unit, you don't have to use it with GPS and compass for full autonomous capabilities.

    Nobody can tell me if it has 3 gyros, for practicing in NORMAL mode - NOT doing Idle up yet 😬!
    Any ideas? Surely all modern helis have gyros these days. I just don’t want my maiden flight to go mental & crash lol.
    Also, trying to work out the expo values on the Align A10 transmitter. Does a lower value make it less aggressive or would a higher value make it less aggressive. Different radios do it the other way round, could be a fatal for a beginner ! Thanks buddy ✅

      Mine is the 450LP ARTF version, not 470LP ( ruclips.net/video/H1NRndfCvm0/видео.html ) It has the “Mini GRS Flybarless System” I understand ‘6G’ provides an additional 3 accelerometers but I’m okay knowing at least I have the standard 3 axis gyros. So called ‘professionals’ have told me it has no stability help whatsoever 🙄 Must be living in the 1970’s!
      You’re right about the Align radio. So is Futaba an exception to the rule or is it only Spektrum which uses positive expo values to soften stick inputs? Thanks again for getting back to me! No clubs where I live :( 🚁🚁🚁

      That Gyro on your Heli will only make up for the flybar and control your tail servo it will also counteract the affects of the wind causing the Heli to drift!!

My favourite size is 450, any larger is too expensive and my experience is with 4 channels. But 6ch variable pitch has always been my goal. Over the past 12 months of lockdown I’ve spent a while getting acquainted with small 3D helis like the XK K124. A big difference, high head speeds - love it! I won’t be going inverted anytime soon!
      The good news is I’ve learnt about throttle, pitch, gyro gain, expo etc. They say larger helis are less twitchy & as you said, the 450LP is advertised as a beginners heli but I’m not taking any chances. Cautiously preparing for the maiden flight/crash 😬.
      The guy who offered me a deal on the FC6250HX said the same as you, without a Spektrum radio I might be better off with the BeastX.
      Less expensive too. Not sure what it offers or how the sizes compare but I don’t want to buy yet another radio right now 👍🏻
