Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / April 2010

I have a 450 SE that was working perfectly with a Hitec TX (6 channel)
despite numerous attempts at trying to destroy the helo while learning
to fly. My progress was going steady right up until yesterday -
attempted to lift off & the bird flew backwards & fell heavily before
I could get control back. After replacing the broken main & tail
rotors & replacing a couple of ball joints ( told I fell heavily), I
found the the rear swashplate servo was  getting damn hot and not
operating the rear of the swashplate - not me at all I thought ,
faulty servo - wrong ! Replacement servo did the same thing - only
common denominator left is the transmitter & I'm buggered if I can
find the settings in the manual ( the bloke I originally bought it off
has since gone out of business and he told me how to program it
originally and yes, I should have written it down -hindsight eh !).
Any help would be greatly appreciated - Steve
