I've seen more than a few videos and noticed the blades more or less move freely, as opposed to the mains having a certain degree of torque. Is there a set spec for that? Does it matter either way? ]]> RC Helicopter FAQ Matiac http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49859-Tail-Rotor-Blade-Tightness http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49847-Walkera&goto=newpost Mon, 13 May 2013 17:08:58 GMT I was just over at another R.C. website, and the entity is selling what looks suspiciously like a miniature version of my V450D01, same color and... I was just over at another R.C. website, and the entity is selling what looks suspiciously like a miniature version of my V450D01, same color and everything, with the "Devo 8" transmitter. They're calling it the "Matrix 250R", which the site's spokesperson is claiming to be involved in it's design and inception. It looks amazingly like a V series flybarless Walkera, like I said, a smaller version of mine. Now granted, the video IS 3 years old, but is this example REALLY the beginning of Flybarless Technology as claimed, or is this company "riding-on-the-coattail" of Walkera's existing Tech? It certainly looks like a winner, and said spokesperson is flying the blades off the little thing (literally at the end of the video), but it would seem that they're being a bit licentious in their advertising...another one of those "things that make you go hmm"? ]]> RC Helicopter FAQ Matiac http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49847-Walkera http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49766-Battery-Change&goto=newpost Wed, 01 May 2013 15:06:17 GMT We have an Evo T-1 Helicopter and was wonder what are the steps in changing out battery,thanks for any info We have an Evo T-1 Helicopter and was wonder what are the steps in changing out battery,thanks for any info ]]> RC Helicopter FAQ yardman1000 http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49766-Battery-Change http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49746-evo-T-1-seems-not-to-charge&goto=newpost Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:40:42 GMT My son has a EVO T-1 he just purchase the first time he charged it in the usb port it worked fine but since after charging for an hr h4e turns it on...

I have the Futaba GY520 headlock gyro on my 450 and have it adjusted properly for normal mode, but have no idea what the difference is between normal and AVCS mode. I've read the manual several times, but I don't really understand what the difference is. Other than in AVCS mode, the Gyro controls all the tail trim settings for you automatically. In manual or normal mode, you have to program them manually. What would be the different flight conditions which you would use each mode? Is the AVCS for stunt flying or what? ]]> RC Helicopter FAQ DAL2855 http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49731-Gyro-question
