Thank you Rob and everyone for your hard work !!!

[@RCVideoReviews]

Thanks for the comment.

[@woofie7520]

Thanks Rob and John. This is going to make setting up my new Nexus a lot easier. I am so looking forward to this. 😀

[@RCVideoReviews]

Always happy to help Dave. And I know you know where to find help on Discord. Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you.

Did my main rotor setup last night and was told to leave the endpoints as they are and adjust via the mixer. Likewise in the Jonas video he s aid to always enable geometry correction with the servos but this video does not. Lots of different ways to do the same things in RF. It will be interesting to see what best practices emerge over time.

First of all want to thank you both for doing this videos. It really made me decide on trying this FBL unit. Hopefully I won your Nexus giveaway but if not, still a big thank you for this helpful videos. I’ll be installing it in my 420 Raw build. Thank you both.

[@RCVideoReviews]

You're welcome. Winners were selected and notified already :( Glad the video is helpful. FYI I time indexed it last night so you can move around to find what you need.

[@scrc511]

@@RCVideoReviews Thank you. I have one request and maybe it’s already been covered already if not, can you pls mention it on another video on how to or where the tail gain can be adjusted either from the unit itself or from the radio to the unit. Thanks John

[@Malzanar2010]

For the yaw, my rule of thumb is that the trailing edge of the blade follows the nose.

[@RCVideoReviews]

I'll give that a try. I need a way to remember this.

[@Malzanar2010]

I should say, they follow the nose when you push the yaw stick, they move with the tail box if you move the heli. So it’s two rules in one, the rule for the input direction, and the rule for the gyro correction respectively haha

Hello guys😊

[@RCVideoReviews]

Hi!

[@warbirdflyerF4U]

Always enjoy your videos John I do have some off-topic questions about 14 Pole motors end ESC that will work without separate control units Please PM me if you have any information on any of this and could help Thank you Matt

[@RCVideoReviews]

Best place to discuss stuff like this is discord. Link is in description. It's free too :)

[@andyMSH700]

Are you sure the top wire is RPM...i was under the understanding it was the sbus middle pin on the nexus FBL unit for ESC telemetry?

[@RCVideoReviews]

Ikon is middle. Nexus signal wires are all top row. See the video for video evidence.

[@andyMSH700]

@@RCVideoReviews ah thats great...thanks for your reply and great video..

[@andyMSH700]

woops...can i ask one additional question if i may.....the nexus says it supports up to 12V dc as its power source but it is unclear in its documentation where you hook it up to it, well at least i seem not to be able to find it. ? A, B and C ports are 5V and the DSM port is 3.3V so i am a little confused as to where 12V or a supply voltage is supposed to go to get power.

[@RCVideoReviews]

All input power comes from the PWM rail. You really should join discord. I usually don't see replies this far down in YT.

[@andyMSH700]

@@RCVideoReviews now you really have me confused...i am guessing this is a Y connector to any servo lead and to supply power. I find it weird that this simple issue is not explained anywhere... thanks again for your time and answers i think i need to send it onto some forums and hope to get a clear answer...i am just configuring two of them so am not about to blow two up with wrong input power :)
