Just make sure everything is smooth and the mess is good.. Look to make sure the teeth are seated correctly & the gears match one another.. Good luck bruh!

You may want to try some different Throttle and Pitch curves to make the heli feel and fly smoother Dustin.

Throttle you want a smooth constant top end, so 0,45,75,75,75
Pitch if 0% is full negative, then you don't need that for anything but inverted punchouts.
I suggest approx: 46%(-3º),48%(-1º),50%(0º),75%(5º),100%(10º)

May not be to your liking, but it should give you a very smooth feel.

The DX6 is a nice tx. My flying buddy has one and he likes it very much. As for the DX8, unless you buy a used one, the DX8 has been discontinued. If you want more than 6 channels, you are probably looking to get the DX9.

To calibrate your esc....take the main and tail blades off the helicopter

With the tx off, raise your throttle stick to "full stick"

Plug the battery into your esc, then turn on your tx, you will hear a few short beeps

Once you hear the beeps, lower your throttle stick to "low stick"

You should hear a few more beeps and then the helicopter should go through it's original initialization.

That will calibrate your esc.

It's still doing the same thing, I guess I need to do what clay said and check my TX settings, but what do I check for?
