cool - good news...

I use just cheap "reject shop" double sided tape on my kbars - seems to work fine..
On a different note - I changed the tail servo arm on my X4 to 18mm (max room available) as my NX4 was 20mm and my X4 was 16mm and also slightly lowered my negative pitch curve 0.5%

This seems to be working much better now on my X4 - no blowouts today However, I can see it's close.. lol
But flew quite ok today... for me anyway - stock settings, probably won't change anything anymore now..

 

Well I had ordered a bluetooth and added the Vbar editor to my tablet, so yesterday I started to play with many settings to try and "help" the tail out.

I wanted a little harder stop on piro reversals, and a little less step out on hard collective stops...

Jury is still out on how much ground I gained... but I am very pleased with the Bluetooth and it's function!

I also started setting up extra banks on three birds. I have experiment with bank switching a bunch when I first added Pro to a VBar, and I have them fully setup on my original 450Pro, a smack bank, a big air bank, and one that is just for going fast. deep rabbit hole these V/Kbars

 

That is a long arm for a tail servo on that size heli, but if you NX4 is flying OK with 20mm, then the servo must be up to it, torque wise.

 

Yes, the bluetooth is great. That's all I use now, even with the laptop. I usually enable the bank switching after I've got the tail how I like it. This has proved to be more of a challenge with the 450.

I had another go at mine this morning. I managed to get rid of most of the stop bounce by increasing the stop A/B gain and lowering the I gain slightly. I also lowered the precomp, which eliminated some collective stop tail movement. More experimenting tomorrow. I want to see what effect a lower accel has on the 450. One person found accel=35 and P=90 worked well on his 450, with 75% gain.

 

These are my final settings for the Align 450 Sport. I don't think I could get it to fly any better than this:


Gain = 71%

@William, note the Stop A = 80. This is what I needed to get a sharp CW piro stop/reversal. Note I think stop A and B can be reversed depending on the gyros mounting position.

 

After seeing the new Align GPro uses the Microheli mode for the 250 and the 450, I decided to try the Microheli mode on my 450 Sport.

The result was a heli that flew well on nearly the stock settings at a gain of 60%:



Note: When you click the Microheli Mode button the tail gain is also adjust to 75, which is normally too high for a 450 or 250.

So it looks like a V Bar Microheli is anything 450 or smaller. Off now to set my 450L Pro to the same settings...

 

Have got one of these to try side mounting on a 250.
Has anyone tried side mounting it & noticed any differences.
Whilst a small detail, I actually like the "green glow" when it is active...


Here is the "manual" to show the various mounting positions.

Cheers,
Yak.

 

@Yak, I have it side mounted on a 550E. Works really well. No issues I can find when using it this way. Slow flash setting in my case.
