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 (he set my 450 up the first time) so I left it the way it was. Well, I went to the field yesterday and right after plugging the battery, I noticed that the status led was solid red and the gyro was not correcting nothing. I reassigned the channel to aux 2 and light went solid green with the gyro doing its work.
I spooled up and tested the tail, it responded perfectly but when I throttle up a lil more to take off, the heli jumped or rolled to the front and the blades broke. I had a spare set of blades but didnt replaced them since I had no idea what the problem was.
I'm gonna start from scratch step by step again but still have the doubt on the gyro gain channel thing. Should I use aux 2 if my servos are all plugged straight to the gyro? Friends here insist it should be gear channel. so I'm kinda lost on this matter.
Hope you can enlighten me a bit.
Thanks in advance and if you need more info please let me know.

Oh, I forgot to mention I'm using a DX7S
