I am setting up my Goblin 700 Havok (3-blade) and would like to get inputs on HS setup. I have read somewhere that a 3 blade setup should be 2/3's (66%) of a 2 blade setup. The Havok manual says recommends 1900 / 2000 / 2100, which seemed high to me for a 3 blade setup. I looked at the 700 2...

I think I have done it that way, but not sure. Traveling this week, so will have to wait until Friday before checking out the theory. Paul

Tony, I have done it with just the esc powering up and with servos attached. Same results. Paul

I am having an issue with my AR6335 (from my Blade 180) that it will not maintain power. It binds find, but after binding, I remove power from the ESC, turn off the TX. Then turn on the TX and apply power to the ESC. The AR6335 power LED comes on briefly and then goes out. Never to come on...

Mike, curious as to whether you are using the stock FBL or something else? Paul

Can someone explain to me how to setup an AR7700 that gets 18 channels. I have A DX18, so according to the manual that comes with the AR7700, I should be able to send and receive 18 channels.

all excellent info. thanks for your inputs. Paul

Smoogie / Uri, Great input and advice. I am not familiar with the Hobbywing ESC but have heard the are good. I am currently running Castles in all my helis now and was thinking of using the Castle Creations Phoenix Edge 130 which comes with a built in 5A BEC. Paul

Sorry, Smoogie, thanks for the input. Paul

Uri, Thanks for the input. Paul

I am contemplating acquiring a Goblin 570 KSE and am pondering the motor / battery options and would like to get folks recommendations or how they currently have theirs setup. So what are folks using and how do they like their setups? The battery options for 6s are pretty straight forward but...

Is anyone running a 3-blade head on the 180CFX? I have seen the upgrade on the Lynx and Microheli sites and it looks interesting but want to check with anyone who might be running this setup. Thanks. Paul

I don't necessarily agree with that you always have drift with a fly bar setup. I have a Blade 4503D and after setting up all the mechanics correctly (swash level and pitch range correctly) I would initially have some drifting. I simply used the Tx trim buttons to get the heli to stop...

You could adopt my method, "ask forgiveness rather than permission." These both look quite fun. Other than the skids and the canopy, they appear to be the same basic heli. Blades, motor, esc, battery. Is there a difference that I didn't see. Paul

Well. it has been a bit since I responded to my initial post on my 180 stabilization problem but something called work got in the way so it has taken a lot longer than I had hoped for to get this bird back working. so here is the process I had to go through. In general with Blade Heli's (aka...

Smoggie, Nice feedback. I hadn't thought about servos before but am beginning to lean that way after the responses from this thread. Not sure how to classify my experience level. I might classify myself as a intermediate sport flyer. I don't fly crazy 3D stuff but can do loops, rolls...

Tony, That was the issue. Thanks. Paul

I am trying to install a Mini Ikon FBL into my Trex 250 and cannot seem to get the negative pitch adjustment to -100%. The best I seem to be able to get with the max travel adjustment on the radio is -48%. I can get all of the other travel settings set to there respective +/ - 100% just not...

many..... now that you mention it. I did notice that there appeared to be some 'binding' on the swash when moving the pitch up and down. Like a small catch on the main shaft. I slide the swash and the leveling tool up and down the main shaft and there was no noticeable catching or...

I thought I would give you an update on the progress ( or actually lack of ) related to this issue. As I stated earlier, I suspected the FBL had gone south on me and went through the process of swapping out the AR6335 with an IKON micro which I had installed in my Trex 250. Long story short...
