Hi guys, when spooling up my hk fbl 450 clone tips to the left. i have followed the vidio's on set up, when i tilt heli to left the swash only moves a tiny bit same as right. What i would like to know is what settings to use on heli and dx8 transmiter as a learner. i only want to hover at this stage thanks.
General 450 wanting to tip over.

looks like your mechanical setup is not 100%, try to do it step by step and make sure your swash is completely leveled by midstick having 0degr. pitch without any curves or trims set.

Are you sure your swash is completely level? Check out my video on how to level your swash with a zip tie. If you have a swash leveling tool, then use that instead.

Thank you for your reply's. my swash seams level i set it up with swash leveling tool, level at low stick, level mid stick and level at high stick. i am useing orona DS-939MG servo's just found out they are not the best ones to use. so i will look for some better ones. which medium priced servos do you guys recommend for cylic.

I didn't realize you had both of the threads until now. I will copy what I put in your other thread here.
If there is one place you need to spend money on, it's on the electronics. IMO the gyro is #1 with the servos being a very close second. As I mentioned in the other thread, you can get away with some of the clone gyro's and still have a good flying helicopter. But get something like the Align DS430M cyclic servos and the DS425 for the tail. After a good gyro setup, you should have a super stable helicopter.

you can also alternative take the TGY306HV this servo is awesome and beats the align easy (and I know have them both flying), you can easy use them for cyclic aswell as tail

Here are the servos that Davis is talking about. They are right at about the same price as the Align servos, all aluminum case and the specs are pretty good if they are correct. To get the most out of them though, you are going to have to run 7v to them. But even at 4.8, the specs are decent.
TGY-306G-HV High Voltage Ultra Fast/High Torque MG Digital Alloy Cased Servo 3.7kg / .05sec / 21g

Hi, I am using a DS939MG for the tail it seems to work ok, i just got my bird to fly just a low hover at the moment. RESULT i am happy. My settings are.
Throtal = 0-25-50-65-65.
Pitch =10 deg
Airleron =7 deg D/R 80 - Expo 30
Elevator =7 deg D/R 80 - Expo 30
Rudder = D/R100 Expo 20
these settings work for me at the moment.

It is Always good if you are happy and the bird flies gratz on that.
1 point of attention, on your throttle curve you better can raise that a little to 75. why ?? short explanation is : Better for your electronics

As quick as possible having constant HS so I would do 0-75-75-75-75, but thats personal and also to your liking. If you have a good softstart i would do it
