Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / December 2005

I really wanted the CP, but the sales guy was very nice and asked if I
wanted to fly, or be waiting outside his door the day after Christmas
waiting to buy parts.
He even fired up a CX, and I was hovering it around the store.

I have a cyclone rc helicopter, I have the rotor adjusted, but cannot seem
to find an adjustment for the main rotor, is there such a thing. To be able
to get even close to take off I have to pitch it to the right. Would have
thought there was some adjustment somewhere.

 I stumbled across a post awhile back that mentioned putting a gyro on
the rudder of a plane and was wondering about how beneficial it would
be and how well (or poorly) it would work.
 If you try to roll the plane using ailerons (with no rudder inputs)

I've had Reflex XTR for a few days now and really like it.  One thing I've
noticed though is that on my system (both desktop and laptops actually) the
frame rate occasionally drops to as much as a quarter of the normal rate for
about 20 seconds or so before jumping back up to its ...

Is G3's graphics anywhere close?
I don't have a radio and would have to purchase one for the Reflex XTR, so
that will make it more expensive for sure.

I just bought Reflex XTR today.  Are there any good websites out there with
additional setup advice for optimal realism?   I've got it all working but
the Raptor 30 doesn;t behave at all like the one I used to own.  Far too
squirrely, like there's no control or helicopter inertia at ...

Does anyone remember a Robbe helicopter from the late 1980's with CCPM
control ?

I just ordered a RotoFly.  Can't wait for it to arrive.  The transmitter is
a 4-Channel by Futaba.  It takes 8 AA batteries.  Will NiMH batteries work
okay?

RealFlight G3?
My system should be able to handle any software.  I need one with the
controller.
Any recommendations?  I don't plan to be an expert from the Sim, it's just

1. In a hover with the nose directly into the wind, my Raptor 50v2 needs
substantial right cyclic trim. I know that this is required to offset the tail rotor
thrust. At present the swashplate is level if I take the trim off and center
the stick, and the aileron servo is centered, ...
