We get asked this question a lot . What is the center frequency of such and so servo.
Not just helis but plane guys and quad guys need that info cause its a part of programming your gyro
So here is a very simple and extremely reliable way

Hey everyone. I had a member on here asking some question about how to solder deans plugs, and I thought I would make a video on how to solder. Then I remembered that I had done a video previously on this subject, and couldn't find it on youtube. Well, because of my internet at the time, I had...
I still haven't ordered my batteries for my big plane, the FB Albatross, but I wanna get started locating the CG. How do I go about doing that? I'll show you what I did, lol.
It's going to be one of the hardest decisions you will make in this hobby. What is going to be your first airplane! Just like with helicopters, picking the correct aircraft is going to either make the hobby, or break the hobby. For this reason, you must start out with a great platform.
Now I...
Because of some inaccuracies in the last video (thanks Paul!), I have remade the video.
If you get a YEP ESC, get the programming card! It's very cheap and is infinitely easier to program vs the Tx stick method.
In this video, I walk you through the steps it takes to get your heli in the...
When you are building your helicopter, you take the time to install all of the servos correctly, make sure the shafts are perfect, but some over look at just how important it is to set the proper gear mesh.
If you set the mesh too loose, you run the risk of stripping the gears. If you set...
Hello everyone, The flybar head setup video is finally here. In this video, I to into more depth on the head than I do in any other video I have made. From adjusting the swash mix, to adjusting the links on the head, to leveling the swash, it's all covered in this video.
If you have any...
For over a year now, I have had requests to do a setup video on the Assan (or HK) GA-250 gyro. It wasn't until today that I was actually able to do so because I had sold all of my helicopters and the gyros went with them. Well that is over and here is the video.
In this video, I walk you...
I get 100's of people telling me there heli spun like crazy when they tried to take off.
Well with this quick check video, that should never happen again.
There are a number of things that you need to pay close attention to when building a clone helicopter. You MUST check every bolt and nut on the helicopter to make sure it's tight. You MUST put thread lock on every bolt going into metal. And if you are running a TT tail, you MUST replace the tail...
One of the things that I see WAY over used here on the forum is the use of thread locker. Now don't get me wrong, it's great to use it, but it has to be used in the correct manner. When you are putting thread locker on the bolts that are going into the feathering shaft, the last thing you want...
The Align DFC helicopter has gained popularity in the last year and with that comes the need to point out some things that are easily over looked.
1. Don't forget to take the head completely apart, including the arms off the grips and remove all oil that may be on the head. And let me tell...
So .. This applies to helis that have TWO points (atleast) of mounting the canopy on the frame.. So like the 600 size.. front and back canopy standoffs.
In my 600 and 700 birds, I have a real issue sometiimes getting my front canopy grommets to align to the standoffs and getting it in there...
So,
I have noticed some scorpion motors don't come with a flat spot on their shafts. Some do, but some don't. Could be true with any other motor too. So... It's recommended if you are gonna run any kind of pinion or like setup , you should have a flat spot so it won't move around...
A mistake that a lot of people make in this hobby, is they think of what we do as "flying or driving TOYS". I'm here to tell you, these things are NOT toys! Maybe the little bitty 3ch coax heli's that you can get in the mall are toys, but anything from an mCP-X to an 800 Trekker can and have...
The moment you all have been waiting for. To know what plane I purchased with the help of my wife lol.
One day in the hobby store to get a new fuel pump, I had to walk down the isle with all of the BNF planes. One caught my eye. The UMX Habu DF. This thing just looked awesome and I wanted it...
As with the last video, this video is all about Flight Mode Settings. In this video however, you are able to fine tune your settings that you put in the gyro. Have a watch and let us know if there is anything we can help you with!
In this video, I show you how to go into the gyro and adjust the flight mode settings. There are 5 different settings in this, but some combine cyclic and collective, and others combine aileron and elevator. Watch the video below to learn how to adjust each one.
If you are out at this field...
In this video, I walk you through the rudder setup menu. If you want a stable and solid tail, then pay close attention to these steps!
I also talk about the Delay setting and how to use the software to get a perfect 0 delay setting!
I also show you how to set the Anti-Torque Compensation...
