The fine wire mesh might be a hindrance to the airflow. Maybe cut it out and replace it with some struts instead?

The propeller looks like wrong direction.

Today redo the front skid as it look flimsy and replace it with a bent aluminium rod, look sturdier and better now. Mounted also a batt indicator and tested the servo movement. Only thing missing now is the receiver and then it's good to go...

Yes good of you to point out the wrong prop direction. Will change it, thanks...

Yes i know the prop guard is a little big and deep but for safety reasons at least the prop is sitting inside the guard. I know the power of these props when they are spinning at full power therefore I always consider safety first over other things in the design. Afterrall no body want an accident to happen and then regret it later !!! Right guys.....

Hi guys, i finsihed my project already, however i ran in one major problem.
I am using my heli Tx (T7CHP) and a 7 channels Rx on it.
I got a strange feeling, my setting is not correct but just can't figure out where is wrong. So i needed some help here.

The thing is this:
My flybar servo (aileron) is connected to channel 1 and my esc on channel 3.
But when i moved the throttle stick, the flybar moves as well. And even more strange is when i move the elevator stick, the flybar moves as well.
Any idea where i went wrong ??? Please help and thanks...

hmmm

seems to me like its on heli mode. u have to switch to plane mode and it'll be fine

[VinCopter]

Must likely you are on heli mode, check the manual to change to plane mode. Not sure if its possible?

[romihensem]

hmmm

should be possible i'm sure. just change the mode shouldnt be any problem on t7chp. there should be 3 mode right? heli, plane, glider

Hi guys, you were great, why didn't i think about that. Guess i have been playing heli far too long already and forgotten my plane basics.
I have change it to ACRO mode. Works correct and great now.
Thanks alot and now going off for the first field test.

Another question if anyone of you have play rc para, as this is only my first build. Do you need a lot of throw on the flybar rod to turn the chute?
I am not too sure whether i have sufficient throw as i don't want to land up in a situation where it is up in the air and i can't control the right or left turn.
Any advice ??? Thanks alot again...
