Bushwacker DX6 set up

[Hoosiers!]

I am looking for beginner settings for the bushwacker I just built and quickly crashed. I know Peter mentioned a couple things at the end of the build video, but really didn't elaborate that much. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

John

Do you have a video of the crash? (or could you describe it) This would help me to understand the issue. Depending on how the crash went I would either assume that your control surface throws were too high meaning it moved a lot when you moved the stick. Otherwise, it could have been a trimming issue. I'm not used to the DX6 but fiddle round in the settings and try to find something similar or the same as endpoints. Adjust them as necessary. I believe the other way is to us dual rates so you can flick between settings easily on the field but I find end points easier. Hope this helps!

This might help with understanding dual rates... go check out his videos if you need anymore info.

I set up 3 rates low, medium and high and for the first few flights only used the low rates until I got use to it. Unfortunately I am in work so no access to my transmitter so can't tell you what percentages I used at the present.
Are you using just aileron's, separate aileron and flaps or Flaperons ?

I also flew mine on my Radiomaster so don't know how the rate percentages compare with those on a Spektrum, it will also depend which holes you used on your servo arms and control horns to provide the deflection of your surfaces

yes he did, no he didn't. you need tx adjustments, not bushwacker

Very interesting. Not that hard to control the airplane. Why'd it crash?
