And the LED on the Unit should be flashing green.

Got the bail out working! Very abrupt! Even had it inverted! Never had the 450 inverted only my 130x and MCPX.
Very excited to put some time in now. Still in one piece!
Thanks for everyone's help getting this set up.

Note to self: HC3SX bail out doesn't work well inverted in normal mode! Had my normal mode set for 0,55,55,55 so I did have some throttle for inverted flight but not when you hit the bail out. It drives the throttle to zero! Luckily I flipped it back over and recovered.
Whew! Don't for get to idle up!

I like it a lot the bail out has saved me at least 20 crashes. I'm a nube so may not be the best to recommend it or give you an opinion of whether it flies good.

I would buy another one for my next heli.

I like the bailout but all in all I prefer the feel of the CGY750.   I am keeping two heli's equipped with the HC3-SX's for now.  The N5C and my second E7.  I lean on those two when I am trying to learn new things.  That way when I do dumb thumb I have backup...  The E5 has VBAR and SE has CGY750.  I don't push it with those until I am comfortable with a maneuver.  Well at least that is the theory.  Didn't work so well last weekend on the SE.  But then again I just had to fly it for the camera ;D

Just bought an ikon because of the 4th discount.  Hope to know what it is like when I get things together in a couple of weeks.

Updated my HC3sx to ver. 2 now the USB no connection window that normally shows yellow when connected says update software? I'm on 5.2 with the software? Any ideas? Trying to get this ready for IRCHA.

Yes that is correct :) 


You must also get the alternating light signal from the unit which confirms it is updating.  It can be a bit tricky.  The last one I updated took several attempts.  If you have an issue with the update try closing the software.  Unplug the dongle.  Reboot the PC.  Plug in the dongle and be sure it is recognized by windows.  Then start the software. 
If you have any further issues I can help you at IRCHA.  I will be there Sunday PM through the following sunday.
