Trex 500 FlyBar with 2801 was created by Rambosmurf
Attached is my set up for my Trex 500 Flybar, Logictec 2100 Gyro. Swash is at 55,55,60, Travel Adjustments 100%, Expo/DR at 100/20 on 1 for both Ele/Ail. 100/Line on 2. Rudder is 60/30 because gyro is very fast. Gyro at 30/-50 for to modes (your will probably be different)
You have to set the trims for your heli and check all servo movement, plus the CCPM movement. Took me a while to figure it out but once I inverted the Ail in swash mix section it was all good.
Once again, don't forget to change title to model#.ini

Anyone: How easy is it to modify this model config to use an AR6100e 6Ch DSM2 Rx? I have a flybar 450.

Not sure where I need to change the channel assignments.
I understand trims, swash mixes will also need tweaking.

All good, but no aileron control. The front servo's are respoding to elevator input, and collective, but no roll control.
I'm having a peek around now.
Ideas?

Edit: Must have lost a mixer changing to 6 channels ;) - stick input showing cyclic roll input, but channel monitor showing no corresponding output.

I like the gyro gain on to aux pot.
I had my first crash today - thought it was a disaster seeing blades flying, but it was only the training gear going into orbit. Did break one plastic main blade grip, so pretty much no damage at all.

Sorry to hear that :(

I still remember the damp crrrach noise of the woodies breaking on my Honey Bee King 2 - that was my first heli + first crash... of many :whistle:
I hope it was not due to the .ini file :oops:

Not really Deviation related...and this is getting off topic... but as this is your 1st crash: do disassemble fully the complete head and check for bends otherwise you'll have baaad vibrations and more crashes...

Wasn't your .ini - I was using another. And it was my fault, I had just woken up after a day sleep (on night shifts), was too tired. But the little fella wanted to see the heli, what's a bloke to do? :)

I have a complete new head to put on, and no replacement parts for the plastic head, but I'll disassemble and check for straightness.
