any help on the setup for this bird with a Spectrum DX7 w/futaba 401 Gyro
this bird really shakes on startup and it just spins C/clockwise and I have to hold stick all the way left to settle it
I could use the help on the radio settings

Thanks all

Mike

It sounds like you need to reverse the gyro or could be that your TR set-up is incorrect.

I flew the Lepton a few times. Awesome machine made by Hirobo. :cool:

Goodluck with it.

If the heli is spinning clockwise (nose going right), and you have to hold in left stick to stop it - then your control direction is setup correctly. If it is spinning counter-clockwise then the rudder servo must be reversed (from the transmitter).

You need to begin by getting your t/r adjusted.

in non 3d mode 50% stick position should be where it hovers. I cant remember but i think hover pitch is 6 deg someone correct me if i am wrong
