Ok, second run on the programing accidentally erased my E7 model in the DX8! No big deal as in need the practice with the set up.
Went though the Helicommand setup again this time setting up the servos, swash and head for neutral. Went very well. As far as travels are concerned. Went with 12.0 deg pitch and 8 deg on the cyclic. Not sure what a good cyclic deflection is?
Noticed the travel in the radio didn't match the swash travel for cyclic. About half stick in any direction and the cyclic would be maxed out at 8 deg. Thinking that would have been a fun ride if not noticed. Seems that I needed to select FLB Stabilization instead of Acro in the ridge tab. Moving the Initial response slider to 10 allowing the cyclic servos to travel with the cyclic stick on the DX8.
Almost made a mistake adjusting the radio travels to try to get these cyclic and collective servos to move farther. Big mistake as this needs to be done in the mixer tab with the collective, aileron, elevator travel sliders.
Final check for proper stabilization found that the elevator incorrect. Had to go back and switch the radio and the program reverse servos to get this corrected.
Noting do with the throttle in the Helicommand. Must be pass though and controlled by the radios settings?
Saved my work this time.
Any other pitfalls for this set up would be great to know.
Thanks Barry
