I have been an airplane guy for 30 years and thanks to that think called "peer pressure" I just had to try a helicopter so I went out and bought a TREX 450 clone. Your video was a life saver setting up my DX8 and I want to say thanks! Now its off to let my instructor check it over and see if all this chopper stuff is worth the hype!
Excellent!! Im very new to the RC world and I learned a lot from this video. Used this info to set up a heli on Phoenix that I couldn't get off the ground. Im flying now. Thank you.
Hi Arctic...I just subscribed to your Channel & your Video's are Awesome!! I just bought a DX8 and this video helped alot!!...now I just have to learn how to set up the D/R Expo's & I'll be set!...Thanks so much for the Help!
I really learned a lot in this video, especially since I'm thinking of going with the Spektrum Tx for my Align Trex 450 Pro and Sport builds. Thank You also for doing this in english!
@ArcticRc HI Bengt, thought I'd tune in here. It is quite normal to used around 25% expo on cyclic and rudder controls for helicopters of all sizes. I use it on all of my helicopters, ranging from 450 - 550 - 700 size. Cheers.
I dont have a Heli Hobby store in town either or I would take it to them. I had to drive 1.5 hours to pick up this thing and its frustrating. The tail rotor is centered, swash is all aligned. It seems like it would hover nice if the tail would stop wanting to make the heli turn. thank you!
@ArcticRc It's Mentioned in the Manual if you have a Unstable hover. I guess you can use it to calm down a Sensitive Heli when your Hovering. Mine is all over the place in a hover. I can't seem to get it to not be so sensitive..
Hello, I have a Spektrum DX8. Recently the speed controller stopped working, maybe I messed up something with the adjustments. The monitor shows that the joystick is responding, but the receiver does not execute the command. One plane emits rhythmic beeps, the other buzzes three times and then is silent. I would be very grateful if you help, I hope this is not a defect, I can’t take off, but I really want to.
Set your throttlestick to high. Den connect esc battery whait for to beeps and then throttle down fast. Now wait for signals and cell counts. You have no calibrated esc to you radio andbit should be ok
@themongrel712 IT may have lots of different 3 servo swashplate setting but hasn’t got a setting for 4 servo swash for my vairo helicopter as I found out to my cost. My old 35meg Futaba 8 channel set has! Will stick to Futaba in future.
Good job on the video! Just bought a DX8 transmitter ! Looking into the future buying A T-rex 450 pro kit or the T-rex 500 kit! Also the Beast X receiver for it! Enjoy your video & flying!
I have the same radio, DX8. I also have the Trex 550e V2 3GX. Everything seems to work fine, but for some reason, I have to fight the tail rotor all the time. I seriously need help and I dont understand what i did wrong. I take off the ground and the more power I give it, the more it wants to turn counter Clockwise. I lower the power and it turns Clockwise! Seems to me that my gyro for the tail hold is not working. I know it has to be a setting i am missing. Can you think of anything?
good video. why are some heli like the blade 200 recommended to be set up as an airplane and others like the 230s set up as a heli. also, on the channel assignment menu channel 5 says gear. What does gear mean exactly. thanks
What about a Curve Pitch for HOLD? I use 40-45-50-75-100 (-2.5 deg). For NORMAL Curve Pitch I use 50-50-50-75-100 (0 deg for start) for all my heli 450-500-600.
You need to reverse the collective pitch. Do this without blades on your heli to prevent damage to your self. The front of the blade holders should point upwards when you move throttle stick oppwards. Try search for complete heli setup for beginners. 😊
Hi , I am fairly new to this hobby , I have a DX8 and a trex 250 DFC. are these settings good for this because I have no clue? I can only fly inverted on my simulator and I don't have the courage to do so for real. My trex 250 is currently set up to my DX6i and I won't use the DX8 until I have the right settings? Can you please help? Thanks , Paul
You mention in this 'Spektrum DX8-Helicopter Set-up' that this is Video #2. Where is video #1 and what is it entitled so I can watch it first? I am starting from the beginning to set-up my Spektrum 8 and I am going to program it for my Blade 350 QX3. Thank you.
I don't remember Sir. But i don't think you are missing out on something. Remember that this setup is for flybar. I will make a video with FBL systems when i get my hands in a new heli.
Greg von Seeger Flybar is when your helicopter has those extra Paddels togetger with the Main Blades. Flybarlessis only the main blades and a 3 axis gyro instead of just the rudder gyro
I will get a DX8 tomorrow but Question Cant I download any model and put it in the Tx via SD card? If yes Where can I get Align 450 Pro setup file download. And ZYX setup file downloads.
Sorry for the language people.. (Im just asking for tips about the hardware im writing below here) and where in Norway he is :) Men hvor i Norge er det du egentlig holder til ? Jeg har kjøpt meg en DX8s og Trex 450L dominator med IKON flybarless og castle creation phoenix edge 50a ESC ;) Kunne godt tenkt meg å fått noen små tips til denne radioen sammen med det utstyret jeg nevner her...
Har ingen erfaring med Icon. Æ bruker kun AR7200BX fbl gyro på mine heli. stødig samt Spektrum. Men kan hjelpe så langt æ klare. du kan også bruke ArcticRc På facebook. for kjappere svar :) Bengt
I do not agree with everything in this video I would not adjust pitch and cyclic with radio I always adjust mechanically this way when or if you crash you do not have to remember all your changes in radio there is some good info here just do things a little different

@ArcticRc Yes 25% is plenty I think you will enjoy it. It really smooths out the cyclic inputs. Let me know how it goes!
your videos are great and easy to follow,thanks and keep up the good work regards john
Love that radio and your channel Arctic !!

@ArcticRc Thats what i would like to know...I was told that I had to use it setting up my Trex 700e??
What setting i need do when i press down on the controller the heli goes up and press it press down on it press down on the controller

Thanks for a great video!
Dan77Ring Thank you Sir for watching. :)
Can some one explain what the 3 aux port are for on the ar8000 and which one is for the battery supply
I wish someone would post a setup video for futaba 14mz with the align 3gx controller.

I think i was talking about switch setup in the plane setup video
You lost me. Whats flybar? and FBL?
Greg von Seeger Flybar is when your helicopter has those extra Paddels togetger with the Main Blades. Flybarlessis only the main blades and a 3 axis gyro instead of just the rudder gyro
Excellent very detailed and easy to follow.
Thanks Artic Dude for the great tips,by the way do u really live in the artic?
I will get a DX8 tomorrow but Question
Cant I download any model and put it in the Tx via SD card?
If yes
Where can I get Align 450 Pro setup file download.
And
ZYX setup file downloads.
DO THE TREX 700 KIT COMES WITH A RADIO SET UP
on the gyro setting the word hold is not for throttle hold its for heading hold gyros
How do I get more movement on my swash using a DX8.
lee rossi Travel adjustment. but dont use it for Flybarless system.
We have snow here also , more to come I think
can u change power setting on dx8???
Good job nicely done.

If I came there I am afraid I would not want to leave : )
thank you great help
I wish I had the money to buy a Spektrum...
You do not set your normal mode throttle curve up like you just did
Yes i did.
Swashplate mix ali -60 goes 8n backwards
he is god
I do not agree with everything in this video I would not adjust pitch and cyclic with radio I always adjust mechanically this way when or if you crash you do not have to remember all your changes in radio there is some good info here just do things a little different
why here all speak English?
Speak German!!!
