Q: Does this have altitude hold?

gefragt von BG496403343 auf 2020-12-31 09:06:38

Pathfinder Definitely does NOT have altitude hold. But for a small collective pitch heli it is probably as stable as they come at this price range and great fun.

Pathfinder Very useful info for us Spektrum users, thank you Paul.

A quick initial review of the E160 for Spectrum/JR users and a few thoughts based on my initial experience - and I am in no way a 3D pilot. The E160 is designed for Futaba S-FHSS users to bind and fly but Spectrum/JR users fear not and read on! I bound a Redcon DSMX satellite receiver to my DX8e radio using a full size DSMX receiver as a host. Plug the pre-bound satellite receiver into the DSM port on the flybarless control board on the helicopter fuselage. I attached the receiver to the top of the elevator servo using a 3M foam pad.You MUST set up the pitch and throttle curves on your TX BEFORE powering up the helicopter. This is because the servos are set to maximum throws (plus) and you will put severe strain on them if you don’t do this. My trial and error settings I used are included below, but it you use those in the manual initially you wont got too far wrong and then tune these to suite your own ability/flying style as I did.Before you fly you need to check the rear elevator servo arm and ensure that it is not binding on the right hand servo body (when viewed from above). Mine was (poor quality control/design by Eachine) and I had to carefully remove the servo from the mount and re-profile the servo arm elbow to give adequate clearance from the right hand servo main body. Here are my Spectrum radio settings: Swasplate Type : NORMAL 1 Servo. Servo Setup : Travel - all 100%, Sub Trim - all 0, Normal/Reverse - All Normal D/R and Expo - 100% and 0% (set other curves to suit as required). Throttle Curve: N: 0,85,85,85,85%. 1: 85,85,85,85,85%. 2: 90,90,90,90,90%. H 0%. Pitch Curve: 1: 35,43,50,58,65%. 2. Same as 1 (for gentle aerobatics with a 85% throttle curve). 3: 32,40,50,60,68% (for 3D with 90% throttle). Hold : Same as 1. GYRO: +21.0%, -10%, -10% (The +ve setting should make the helicopter more stable (6G mode), the -ve setting should remove the 6G mode for aerobatic flight. Timer: 4 minutes. Overall a nice little helicopter.

Q: Can you use a Spektrum DX6i transmitter???

gefragt von BG513546855 auf 2020-12-05 04:18:11

Pathfinder Only if you install a pre bound DSMX satellite receiver into the socket marked DSM and your radio is the DSMX version (not sure if it works with DSM2). You cannot just plug in the satellite and then bind from the model. So use another model with a Spektrum reciever to bind the satellite to your radio and then fit it to the heli. Check out Youtube to see how to do this if still unsure. Make sure you set up your DX6i pitch, throttle curves etc, straight after binding and BEFORE you fit to the heli to avoid unexpected lift off when you connect up!!!

Q: transmitter mode-1 or available?

gefragt von osysy auf 2020-09-27 09:19:11

Pathfinder Yes, it is set up for mode2 but the manual shows 2 access points on the back of the transmitter to change it to mode1.

Q: can use with "flybar" helicopter ??

gefragt von boonchai auf 2020-08-12 09:05:07

Pathfinder This is a Flybarless unit so I would buy a flybarless head and change it if your heli has a flybar fitted. Or just buy a nice new flybarless heli !
