Thank guys for the warm welcome, Imm looking forward collaborating on this site, I have to say its one of the more logical easy to use.
Firstly I need to establish I'm a Mac user, I say this up front because there seem to be very few of us in the RC world, I do both platforms but only when I have to.
So as the title suggests I'm very new to this Hobby but firmly bitten by the bug. I bought my first model in Dec last year as a holiday long overdue fascination. It was a 400mm rotor diameter Coaxial, Ready to Fly. Got to grips with it very quickly and went on to buy an Align Trex 450 DFC Pro Ready to fly. This I must say has not surprisingly provided more challenges than I had predicted but I am doing well, needless to say a few spares purchases later !!
I do need help in a few areas from you guys:
I notice that there are many more Spectrum TX users than Futaba and most of the material on TX help is for Spectrim, the package I've got is the Align version of Futaba and Im needing first to know the factory setup appropriate to the heli I have and then some help on toning down the settings for a slightly more docile setup while I get to grips with the machine.
Having read a lot about Firmware updates on the 3Gx Gyro I'm prompted to check and see which version I have and need to know where I can check this ?
On this score how does one connect the 3GX Gyro/RX to enable the FW update take place ?
