Yes, you can use an ELRS micro receiver with SBUS output. FWIW the newly released M2 EVO Mk2 has native ELRS support, these new helis are hitting dealers any time now.

Never use trims on a flybarless heli. Put them all back to centre, it's best to disable trims if you can. If you are using self level model (LED on the flight controller sold, not blinking) then sometimes you need to do a trim flight though it's unusual to be as far out as you describe. When in self level mode control response is a bit slow as the heli is constantly trying to level itself. if your skill level is up to it you should find the problem goes away if you put the controller out of self level (LED blinking).

@@jetplaneflyer ok let me clarify it more.. ok so i fly once 9in the air i have to give 75% left rudder and 50% reverse alieron just to maintain hover.. either the cyclic is off to the front and right or something is going on.. it shouldnt be that much to maintain a stable position even in 3d mode etc.. so what i did was i put it into mid rates the right rocker switch on the radiomaster pocket and this helped alittle maybe shaved off 10% but not enough i think its the swash plate thats not level i need to know how to level it manually seeing how the flight controler is locked ive tried changing settings its the omp protocol on the radio so on the flight controllers are leds and a buitton press it 3 seconds use down alieron to lower settings so if its a 5 it will be 4 and forward alieron to increse from 5 to 6 oviously on any setting i want to go down a few numbers but the flight controller wont respond or let me do that its like its locked out.. so my question is if i cant trim it out on my controller and i cant on the flight controller then how to i get it to hover better in place and btw i tried the pull full stick aleron for 3 seconds down then fly that method it would let me do that but still i have to hold wayyy more stick than normal.. so manually all i can do is what? take a servo arm off go one notch here or there and visually see where the cyclic is..? or if im doing the flight controller wrong then how do i change the settings on it? or on the radio is there settings for cyclic etc in the radio its self other than trims i can adjust now second problem from 0-%50% the copter is smooth acending hit 60% and it shoots up fast and stops where you stop.. go down and once it hits from 100=50% goimng down it shoots down so what i want to do is adjsts blade pictu going down you get negative pits when i just want 0 or level and going up i want to slowly increase the pitch with throttle and or decrease the agressive blade.. from 50 and above.. whats funny is i have other copsters from other brands that act normal and dont shoot up or maintain out of the box stability... its hard for me to film seeing how im one person and i have no one to film it... but those are the 2 issues but i found if i use dual rates 2 middle button rocker switch and slowly use the throttle i mean slow dead slow it does not hop around so this is bad because if i haded to correct myself it will shoot up and or down seems in the middle theres a dead band of cyclic or of the blade speed or angle of attack and if i cant adjust it via radio or the fc then i have to manually do it via servo steps so please help thanks

@ the swash is level from the factory and even if it weren’t that would not explain the need for rudder input. There must be something else going on to cause these problems. Where did you buy the heli from?

@@jetplaneflyer off of amazon from the only seller that has these copters and parts on amazon i bought it 2 days ago

@ Amazon have a good return policy might be time to use it? ScotiaRC will match or better whatever price you paid and I can personally check the heli prior to despatch if you wish. Alternatively I can check and setup the heli you have but if purchased elsewhere there is a £20 charge, plus post.

I'm not sure why the controller is not responding to adjustment but to be honest I'd advise to leave it alone. You can get yourself into a mess if you start adjusting settings without being familiar with what you are doing. It comes factory set and tested. PS.. i assume you mean pull down on the elevator? (it's elevator channel that adjusts the settings). Do not try to adjust the servo arm positions in an attempt to cure drift, it wont work and it will mess the heli up.

I'm afraid not. Futaba SFHSS does not support telemetry

Everyone has their own favourite brands. I used to use Spektrum myself but for various reasons prefer other brands these days. You can't bind Spektrum in the way I show on this video because Spektrum doesnt support either OMP or SFHSS protocol. You will have to use an external DSM receiver for Spektrum.

I'd probably not bother with the rudder. I used it on this one as it was a prototype build so i wanted to test out the option. In reality I've only used the rudder very occasionally for a few stall turns. Omitting the rudder and servo also gives you a better shot at bringing the weight under the magic 250g.. I was 2g over

@@jetplaneflyer Thanks for your feedback Steve! Yes stall turns / coordinated turns were the only things I could think the rudder would be useful for, and this doesn't seem the type of model those manoeuvres are designed for 😁

By the way, what's the big deal with the 250g target weight? Does it mean you can fly closer to / over people, as per the drone regulations?

@@HorizonimagingCoUkPhotography The Drone regulations only apply if it's 250g or over. Anything less is exempt so you can fly anywhere you like, subject to common sense of course.

@@jetplaneflyer - Thanks Steve! So what does getting under 250g mean in terms of where you can fly? I've always flown my planes wherever I feel there is enough space / away from the public anyway?

no calibration necessary

@@jetplaneflyer really how is that possible ?

@@bluecavemen the flight controller on most RC helis (usually called flybarless controller) doesnt work like a drone flight controller. It has no GPS and does do any autonomous control at all. On a drone if you take your hands off the sticks the drone just self stabilises and sits static in the sky. On a RC heli if you take your hands off the heli will just hit the dirt. That's the challenge you get from it. it's not easy!

@@jetplaneflyer have you heard of pixhawk flight controller. You can actually turn a heli into a uav.

@@bluecavemen yes, I’ve heard of them. For my purposes having the heli fly itself would take all the fun out of it.

@@bcflyer99 the box doesn’t weigh much so shipping may not be too bad. Ask Andy at Angelwings

about 20mph i think

@@jetplaneflyer thanks ordered my kit yesterday so wanted to know what I could fly it in. 20mph is quite strong yet it seems pretty stable 👌

c'est dans le titre, Franck !

CG is about 80mm back from the tip of the nose. No gyro fitted. This is the new version, I have the old one too and it certainly benefits from a gyro. The significant change I think is that the new one doesnt have dihedral which greatly reduces Dutch roll tendency.

You will need to program a rescue function but yes, you can allocate rescue to any switch you choose.

Martin, yes it’s from rgmcn. I went for full carbon which probably adds a bit of weight at the rear making the model a bit heavier. It’s about 2.3kg. It does ok in moderate winds but as you would expect isn’t a ‘floater’. Quality is very good, no complaints at all.

thank you steve ❤

I have studied, designed, and flown flying wings for about 50 years. Even if they are perfectly optimized, at best, they will only equal the performance of conventional configs. Most are worse. It is the simple fact that to achieve stability the designer has to give up some lift capability and hence gets a lower L/D. However, the use of fully active flight controls may change this equation and finally yield flying wings that have superior performance.

I've never personally needed to fine tune when using the OMP protocol. You are right there is a fine tune feature, however the Rx doesn't have RSSI so there is no way to see if your fine tuning is making things better or worse, other than scrolling until signal is lost. That's why I just leave it at default.

RC slope soaring is a great hobby. There is something special and very rewarding about flying on only rising air currents with no motor or propeller to assist, plus it gets you out to some beautiful places. Give it a go!

@@jetplaneflyer thanks Steve, I'm seriously considering it. I'd love to learn to fly one and as a family we love walking so it would be a great way to get out and explore the country aswell. Is there a set up you could recommend for a complete beginner?

Dave, sorry, missed your last message. For a beginner something made from foam is not a bad shout as they dont need building and they bounce when crashrd. You could do a lot worse than the dream flight Alula, it packs down small so easy to carry when you are out on a walk and they fly really nicely. You would need servos, a receiver, transmitter and flight battery, but the dealer you buy from I'm sure would make recommendations. For a Transmitter the Radiomaster Zorro is good if you want something compact and portable but still very capable.

@@jetplaneflyer thanks 👍 I will have a look into it. Got a few spots lined up already
