Hi, there are a few questions that I have had a hard time finding an answer for that I'd like to learn before I try a test flight. Hope someone can point me to another thread or help answer some of these.
1. On the 3gx, the main status light when the 3gx is initialized... I think this "head holding" (green) and "normal" (red). Is "normal" the same thing as "rate" mode (I see the term used a lot). This status light also corresponds directly to the rudder delay setting I think?
2. If you set the rudder delay to "normal" (red), then does the value for the delay even matter what you set it to? That value I'm guessing applies only to head holding?
3. I have only one flight mode set in my Tx (DX7). The 'norm' mode. I really haven't changed anything in the default settings for a heli, other than subtrim for 90'ing the servos. I assume this is ok for simple flight. I have throttle hold (cut the motor), but that's it. There is nothing set to keep the rotor head at a set speed ("Idle up"?).
Thanks for any help!
