Well I got the heli in the air. The first flight was unremarkable in that it was just to see if everything was trimmed just right. I had to adjust a few of the links so that the heli wouldn't drift in any particular direction. I also found out that I had the rudder servo reversed...that means that the rudder input was backwards. Servo reversing is very easy to fix, you just go into the reverse settings on the radio and reverse that channel. Problem solved. I also decreased the negative pitch to -1 degree at low stick. The negative pitch set to -1 allows for a beginner (me) to have some room for error in the event of a panic low stick and prevents the pilot from slamming the heli into the ground. I have a video of my second flight. It is just another test flight.
My server crashed, therefore I had to rebuild my OS partition. I lost all of my heli pics as they were in my www root directory. I am getting good at installing and configuring exchange server... which is a good thing.
Here is the video link.....more to follow.
