Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / June 2010

Hi all,

I am a novice to heli R/C flying and I recently bought a ready to fly
Twister Medevac heli with 2 counter rotating main rotors. It's so much
fun flying it! However, before I attempt anything more difficult, I
would like to practice in a simulator. A friend of mine gave me
RealFlight G4.5 and I am using the transmitter that came with my heli
(2 sticks in mode 2 with 4 axes but no buttons or switches). I managed
to connect the R/C to RealFlight with a Dongle Emulator v3.3 (took me
a long time to find on the internet this was possible!). Planes work
great but I want to practice flying heli's. As soon as I select a
heli, the main rotor spools down and stops. The throttle stick doesn't
do anything except twisting the main blades but they are stationary.

After a long search on internet I found out my problem has to do with
the throttle hold function. I tried CTRL+G to disable throttle hold so
that they spin up but that doesn't do anything.

Does someone have a solution?

Thanks a lot in advance!
