cool ! Very Happy

I've setup my Belt CP with my DX6 park fly system and it had it's first flight today. No glitching and I can finally hover in confidence. The rudder is locked solid as well.

I would like someone to check my setting and answer my queries if possible.

First of all this is my kit:

Belt CP with standard servos, everything standard aprt from the below
Telebee gyro HH
Storm motor - H3800kv
10T pinion

2200 mAh 25C battery
Dual Sky 40A ESC
TX - Spektrum DX6 not (DX6i)
RX - Spektrum AR6000

Setup

Idle Down

Pitch: 35%, 60%, 100% (gives me -3 to around 10 degree)
Throttle: 0%, 50%, 95%

Idle Up

Pitch: 0%, 50%, 100%
Throttle: 100%, 95%, 100%

Throttle Hold pitch , i set to 15%, 15%, 15% as i don't do autorotation.

The CCP mix is set to :

CP2 +60%
CP3 + 50%
CP6 -60%

EXP is set to 30% on AIL and ELE

TRAVEL ADJUST

ELE +90% forward
-150% back

RUD +40% LEFT
-40% RIGHT (could do with some more but when i get a bit more practise.

THROTTLE HOLD SPEED -5%

I've also set my ESC to:

BRAKE - OFF
Battery type - Li-POLY
Cuttoff mode - Reduce power
threshold - HIGH (3V per cell)
Startup mode - supersoft
Timing Medium (default)




My queries are...if you could answer in another post or below my questions in red please.

1) Travel adjust on the Pitch, what happens if i adjust this ? Does the CCP move faster, further or both. I tried this with rudder and it seems to give more or less throw

2) Same question but on the Throttle TRV ADJ

3) I tried increasing the CCP mix percentages, the minus (CP6) allows for faster and further CCP movement how is this different to Travel Pitch adjust ?

4) The IDLE DOWN pitch curve was a little agressive from mid stick to 100%, i increased 35%, 60%, 100% to 35%, 50%, 100%, is this ok to do this, much nicer flight than the thing bouncing up and down.

5) My current IDLE DOWN throttle is 0%, 50%, 95%, what happens if i increase/ decrease the 50% to 40% or 60%, what will happen and is it ok to do this ?

6) Are my ESC settings ok ?

7) My ESC has a ferrite ring, should i remove it when using the DX6 system ?

8) What will happen when i idle up from my 50% mid stick idle down. Will my heli shoot up or down when the throttle changes into idle up ?

9) If i find that the idle UP pitch curve is too crazy can i reduce the range to get softer curve, say 35%, 50%, 75%, instead of 0%, 50%, 100% ?

Thanks to everyone for their help, really appreciate it. I can finally fly without having a heart attack everytime i get a glitch with the standard Esky radio gear.

One other thing, it's nice being able to set models in the TX, i have two batteries with different weights meaning i have two settings for the different setup.
