Maybe got a bit lucky, but done a lot of looking at the 3Gx setup when Tony was helping me just before he put his 3Gx video series up,

If you can get the gyro working well its a great gyro,

Nice Kev, man that thing is smooth. What percent was your idol up set at. At least sounded like it was constant speed.

I didn't know the 250 could look that easy, nice flying.

Hi Ken, thanks mate it was easier than I thought it was gonna be, normal was @ 76% and idle up was at 85% - 82% - 85% "V" curve

What I was most surprised at was the plastic blades, they felt really good,

time will tell Graham, but seems to be better than the blade anyway, good size servos always a good point to start with.

It's a school hall we use through the winter, man I have flown a lot of batteries in there this winter, the 130x had so many flights and the 450 a few as well, but I only like the 450 in there when it's me and a friend any more and I start to worry, as not a huge space for recovery,

The 250 DFC however is a great size for in there, and in my work factory land,

The dialling in on that once you mechanically set it up is all about the 3Gx and understanding what the various sliders in the software do, thankfully the first try was the last seen a lot of info about how others have done it and picked what I thought would be good taking experiences from the setups in my 450 and 500 DFC's, I got lucky it was so good on the first try.

Thanks Graham, but the 3Gx is a bit hit and miss, alter any one of the values I put in and it could end up being a mare to fly, that why I said I got lucky,
