This machine if far superior to the other crap blade produces. It flies like a baby 360. The AR 7200 is a much simpler design from a adjustment standpoint. If you need to adjust the gains all you need is a 00 flat tipped driver. The thought of digitally adjusting gains is a joke. We spent all the time I want on the 230s RX. It has just eaten my last nerve up. I am awaiting Tony's mailing address to send him my 230. He believes a simple adjustment that is beyond my pay grade may fix it. I hope so. It was my favorite bird during my simulator transition and for that I am thankful.
We took the time to set the throttle up in small increments until reaching 75%. The response from the tail is astronomical compared to the standard 40% settings that were initially programmed during unboxing.
I have not worked up the nerve to perform 3D maneuvers yet. With that said, my pitch settings are very mild. They start at 40,50,60,75,90. This is in both normal and stunt1 modes. My throttle settings top off at 65% in both modes as well. Normal mode is set as 0,30,40,50,65. Then stunt1 is flat 65%.
I find that I can take off and land in normal mode. After a liftoff we switch to stunt1 and run the flat 65% throttle with the matching pitch curve. This thing flies like a dream. The added benefit is the additional flight time by staying under the maximum throttle settings. We are noticing that the parasitic heat is much lower when the motor is not under full load.
That's my story and I hope anyone just starting out will take the time to advance through simulation first. Then transition to a micro cp heli. Finally save up and buy a decent kit like the 270 instead of throwing tons of money away to ultimately end up in one (270).
