I build up a new TRex 550 X and want to use it with a Spirit Pro.
In Startposition the TRex 550X is tilted for 5 degrees below because the landing skid is in the front shorter than in the rear.

I think now, if I make initialization with that forward angle, Stabilisation Funktion will not work properly and will the heli stabilize also to this Forward angle.
My question is now, , wether I have I to bring the heli at initialization in an exact horizontal Position, to stabilize it in a straight and stable attitude.

(Probably it is a stupid question, but I feel insecure)

Thanks for all answers.

Hi,

slight inclination is not a problem at all. There are many helicopters with similar construction.
The stabilisation and rescue is learning all the time even during flight right after take off.

Hello Tomas,

thank You for the quick answer.

Roland

You are welcome.

If angle is less than 30° then there shouldn't be any problem.

Just another (hopefully last) question to this theme:

Shall I make the FBL Setup and Zero Pitchung with the landing skid on or shall I remove the landing skid to make sure, the heli stands really horizontal?

Roland

Landing gear or position of the model does not matter at all during setup.
It has no effect on the settings, it is just important to set everything always with mounting position and/or main shaft. Never measure (anything) with respect to ground.
