Chaos 700e 3D Heli with "Stick Cam"
We thought we’d hook up the “Stick Cam” for a quick flight with Harv and his Chaos 700e by RC Aerodyne. Thumbs up if you like seeing the sticks and want more videos showing the stick movements on the transmitter!

(continued) Idle up 2 is just a higher rpm from idle up 1. It is pretty common way to set up any collective pitch heli.
It is the msot common set-up for the heli. "idle up" is what puts me into my contastant rpm, and +/- pitch. As far as i know 100% of the people do this. There is three modes usally used. Normal, Idle up 1(or stunt-1), and idle up 2 (or stunt-2) Normal is what gets you into your hover, it has a linear throttle curve and it brings you into the hover. flipping the switch to idle up 1 puts the heli into a constant rpm (or governed) and has negative and positive collective. (see next post)
Gotcha, and thank you. One more Q if I may before I leave you in peace…
For 3D heli flying, is this the most preferred method and do you use the idle up switch for anything at all? Ok that was 2, sorry.
If it is a collective pitch heli then yes it is possible. In idle up you set your throttle curve as a V curve or straight line. and on the pitch you set 0* pitch at center stick and just set how much pitch you want through the swash menu(if flybarred) or through the gyro if FBL.
I (mistakenly it seems) thought the pilot had to physically click the idle up switch when flying upside down and click it back when not inverted. I had no clue it was possible to fly with it effectively on permanently on a proper heli and had stayed away from that style of (extremely fun) flying in the sim for that reason. Now i'm both relieved and confused, does this also apply to micro CP helis like the Walkera Genius?
@ MicroRCFiend—-I'm not sure exactly what your asking but center stick(collective) is 0 degrees and moving above that is positive and below that is negative. and the throttle stays at a constant governed RPM. Hopefully that answers the question.
Thank you for posting the vid, this stuff is so helpful. Usually it's only the really ridiculous or really simple that gets stick vids, awesome to see something in the middle for a change.
Excuse my inexperience but I thought you had to have Negative pitch curves with idle up – how come he's not using the idle up when going upside down?
! year on helis with this to show for it is very impressive, gives me hope 🙂
Great job on this and thumbs up..Tim
