Hi, correct that is a 4G6 with a flybar and RX2610V2. I went back to the original firmware on my Devo 10 so I can't send you the setup file which I would have been glad to do. Here are the settings for the 4G6 with a flybar and RX2610V2. First post below the Setup Guide Index. On Step #6 use option 2. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1325037 Tom |

Based on Tom's review, I ended buying a new V120D02S-V2 to see if it was as good as all of the positive reviews make it out to be. IMO, it flies awesome and is fully 3D capable (unlike the original V120 series) and Manny was able to do an entire 3D routine with her last week at the field. It is the first Walkera FBL heli he has been able to that with so far. No bobbles or bad tendencies that the older Rx firmware had. Pretty nice. The only thing was the slow flip/roll rates. I ordered a set of KBDD blades for it and flew her today (with the TA915 motor and stock pinion) and the rates are now perfect. I am very happy I got this heli and now it appears that my high maintenance 130X's are going to see significant shelf time. Thinking of going 2s on this heli for kicks. But for now, the 1s version is really good.

Just something to consider though. I'm sure you already have. If you happen to find a 8T pinion for motor. I think that might even work better for prolonged 3d routines, like Manny would be doing. It would probably increase flight times, but reduce head speed. I'm not sure if the trade off is worth it for 3D routines. But i would think a reduction in head speed on the pinion would not hurt too much with the KDBB blades. It should give some head room on the amperage draw of the motor for prolonged 3D, i think. I just have been too lazy to order one from Holland. I think a few other guys tried the smaller pinions and preferred it. Just something to consider if you end up bogging out too early in 3D. Of course, i've heard the 2S system is quite a screamer too. But right now the Castle 10A ESC with a governor has my attention. Expensive, but the governor might be worth it. As always, thanks for your input. Now my only concern is the random QC issues that might be the explanation for some peoples "6 axis effect". I suppose we could chalk it up to personal flight ability/style or settings. Though i have not seen anyone complain about it on the V120 in a little while. So maybe it was just a batch of early units with the issue. It wouldn't be the first time, i think. Thank you for your experienced input. |

Weird thing happened yesterday. I was doing front flips and all the sudden I had a mechanical failure. The heli folded up like a dead bird and came spiraling down. I quickly cut the throttle and luckly when it hit the grass nothing else broke. I could see that the elevator servo was slammed all the way down. When I unplugged and replugged the battery it bound up and the servo popped back up. When I spooled up in my hand the servo slammed back down again. I guess it crapped out in mid air and caused the crash. Very strange. I've had servos break in a crash but never in mid air. I've not even crashed this heli in a while so I guess it wore out or the strain of the front flips caused it to break.
Hey Integrity, I have a 6 axis RX you can try if you like. I can't recall if you have a Devo yet but it's the 6 axis from the "new" V120D02s. I just wasn't for me so I changed it back out to the 3 axis. If you are intersted I'll put it in the mail for you to try out. |

edit....are there two versions of the devo rx out for the v120d02s? How do I tell which I have, is the rx model name different? Mine is the RX2636H-D |

You check and reseat the servo plugs? Make sure they are not loose or frayed at the connector? That can cause the strange throw on the servo. It sounds like its still working but the pulse is being read incorrectly. Quote:
Try turning the Gyro gain pot UP on your RX. Some have found this will help to compensate for the 2nd set of "3 axis gyro" which is the 3 accelerometers added to make it 6 axis. It's only a going theory but you might be able to help determine if turning UP the gyros on the 6 axis will help eliminate that "6 axis effect". OR it could be that there was some that perform differently and are buggy due to QC issues. I wouldn't doubt if you have already tried and failed though? |

I had two V120D02's set up exactly the same with same stock motors but one with the 3 axis and one with the 6 axis. Every time I took them out to fly I would crash the 6 axis during the first pack. I tried out the 6 axis for about a month or two and finally took it out. I used it for a while in my V120D05 and it was no better. Too much pitch up and bucking on fast forward flight. I tuned the gyro pot in every which way with no improvment. I tend to not fly very level and the 6 axis was just not forgiving at all. It WANTS to be level all the time so for my flying style it didn't work. I found I was constantly fighting it and it made flips, rolls, and steep banking very difficult. The RX2622V-D (3 axis) is still the favorite with me. Now days I hardly crash unless I have a mechanical failure.

Antennas are white because the originals were damaged so I replaced them with identical length pieces of wire (41mm from surface of board to tip of wire) They're pretty easy to replace because they're just simple lengths of wire soldered into through holes at the edge of the board. |

I also have to report that my X5 and DX8 are working out nicely. I have no regrets for buying a DX8 for it's cost. It's functionality is substantial and you can assign the main switches though the software to flip the flight mode and throttle hold to where we are used to as Walkera TX users. Plus being completely plug & play with Phoenix after calibration was pretty nice. Now to recover for all this expense and try and find a way to get a nano to bang around in my house. I've recently posted about antenna polarization and information i've found in my Spektrum manual here: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...postcount=3520 That looks like a Tarot? Is that the one you just got a few weeks back? Something like that? They are shaping up to be one of my favorite brands right now! I'm thinking of later building something by them. /shrug. I have almost everything i need now besides that nano. I might do a new 250 soon. I'll bet they have a nice one. |
