I call dibs! Hey Tony, glad to hear news from you. Last time you were going through some troubles. Hope that's past now. Greetings from Chile.

Hi guys. I finally figured out what the problem with the Idle mode switch was. After having to create a new model for a heli I saw that both flight modes were working........and it hit me. All the models I had in my TX had been imported from my old DX7S, which only has Normal and Idle up modes...

Nope, not yet. I have been out of town these last month. I'll open it again to check the wires at the board. I´ll keep you all posted. Cheers

Hi Dirk, I bought a bag with switches. I don´t think all of them are faulty. Only thing left to check is the wires at the circuit board.

Lee, Tony, thanks for the answers. I am gonna check the other end of the wires to see everything is fine. Tony, the stock switch does say on-off-on on one side. The one I got is also a 3 position one.

Hi Paul, thanks for replying. I was very careful when soldering the wires. They aren't in contact nor close to each other. I am breaking my head trying to figure out what is causing this. I think I'm gonna use the rudder D/R toggle to give it one more try. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again Olafo

Hi Guys. It´s been a while. Guess the first year after becoming a parent leaves you little time to do anything else, uh? Anyways. I accidentally broke the idle up switch on my DX8, bought the spare part (on-off-on) and replaced it. I took a picture of the wiring color code to not make any...

The heli is definitely much more stable than a regular 450. You can feel that the moment it takes off. This machine is super powerful. If you have flown both the standard MCPX and the brushless version..kinda like that. This bird is mainly intended to 3D flying yet you can "play"with it anyway...

I couldn't resist the temptation! I bought me this new Align heli no matter I'm still flying circuits. The building is easy and fast if you'r not a 1st timer. The lengh of the servo wires is just the ruight one so you don´t have too think too much bout the wiring. The new place for the ESC...

Thanks Tony. I'm clear on the channel thing now. Gonna do all the setting from step one. And this will be the first time since after bulding my 450 up I took it to the guy that sold it to me and he configured the whole thing. I'll maybe change the servos too. I bought the DS415 to replace the...

Hi guys, it's been a while since my last post... I recently decided to get rid of my RX and just use a satellite. I saw some video tutorials started unplugging cables. Thing is that I read somewhere that I had to reassign the gyro channel to AUX2 instead of GEAR. A friend told me this was wrong...

I think it's official now. They released the 4.0 along with some improved features. Here's the whole thing: http://www.align.com.tw/alignhtml/3gx_update/3gx_update.php 3GX V4.0 Improvements on Flight Modes Improved collective pitch to elevator compensation function to stabilize...

Thanks, I'll watch the video to see what I gotta do. I'll keep you posted. Cheers

Hi Tony, it's my trex 450 3gx (vers. 3) what I want to set. I guess I'll be fine with intermediate settings, althou I need to know what are the parameters I have to config. Theory is what I need. Cheers

Hi guys, I was looking for threads on this matter but couldn´t find any. There´s gonna be a sort of competition for beginners here, where we'll have to show our skills for landing, taking of, flying circuits, etc. Is there any recommendations you may give me to set my heli for sport flight...

Well, after drying the tears I realized there was work to be done, and started doing it. I found out the tail rotor axe was crooked and the main gear was missing teeth like an old man. You know what the good part was? My flying buddies, since they know I had no enough money for spare parts...

Yep. just when I was 2 meters from the ground...it didn't help much. Cheers

You can't tell it from the picture.....it's a blade an a half LOL

Well, today I crashed my 450. But before that, I was able to do one more flying test. Still with foam in between the batery tray and the cam, I used some rubber bands (from a bicycle tire) to strap it. The vibracion was reduced a lot. Unfortunately othr tests will have to wait till I fix it...

I knew it was gonna happen sooner or later......and that day was today. I came out of a loop real fast and the heli got far from me. The sun didn´t help to recover orientation. Anyway, I keep it high trying to win some time to find out where was the nose or tail or anything....but something...
