Main blades go which way?

US made helis - Rotate anti-clockwise
European made helis - Rotate clockwise

Mine going CCW.  I dont feel that's right but to correct im going to have to change the direction of a few things inc the direction of the cyclic for the blade tilt.  Might go see how this works first.

Never mind.  I'm having a #facepalm moment here. 
I'm going to have to reverse the cyclic servos.  I'll get back to you.

Fixed.  Everything is level and going in the right direction now.  I think.  Took the servo arms off and adjusted the push rod arm length so now have equal resolution of cyclic servos. 
Blades are on.  Will test in the morning. 

I think this is going to be one of those things that once you've done it the second time will be far far easier.

It FLIES!!!!!    ;D

Well briefly before it started coming apart due to the fact I built it years ago when I really didn't know what I was doing.  I busted it but have a spare frame and probably enough parts to build a third one.  I'm going to re build it from scratch.  Also might use a RX sat. on the Atom.
I might re build my Titan450 too.

In the mean time I have a new quad frame I have a naze32 for but might put this on it until I get my naze mount I've ordered.  I got the naze to compare to the CC3D.

Hey Griphin  8) Congratulations!!!... at least it flew, and most importantly now you know how to build and fine tune your next one....

:) Yes.  The .uav file which works for me. 
I spent most of the day today at my club flying several different planes inc. my Corsair and Minimoa glider.  Now need to add more lead to the nose of the Corsair and finish a couple of other project.  Then, heli building.  8)

Too bad about your heli. I hope you get airborne with it again, soon.
Happy Landings!

Honestly I'm not too surprised, just somewhat disappointed.  It's been years since I flew these helis but I've gotten OK flying quads.  Certainly not the same but not totally dissimilar.

Griphin, I am trying to setup an Atom with a HK450 FBL.  Getting stuck in the GUIs for setting up my Taurus 9x radio.  Have you seen any postings with UAV files for an HK450?   Thanks for any help.  Lynn, Austin

One thing I didn't realise until I more familiar with the software is when importing the .uav file you can do so in parts.  So you can get the input settings for a Taurus from any .UAV file and the Output from anywhere.  I'd start with a 250 heli and see how it goes.  Make adjustments if necessary.
