OMG What a day
I went to the FPVR race meeting today with my non responding Helix.
The build went well and really clean but software stopped all progress.
3 really good blokes nutted out the problems, solved them and setup Betaflight and BLHeli.
I've still got tuning to do but HOLY SHEEEEET its good.
I can stay full throttle and just fly, turning whenever, however and it just does it.
Super fast on 4S and a 1350ma lasts 90 secs at full throtle. 95C is only good for 3 secs full throttle or you risk sagging the battery so much you will starve the receiver or F/C.
I love how you can now tune everything on betaflight and your VTX without taking your goggles off. Just land, disarm and yaw right at half throttle with full forward pitch and it goes into edit mode and 7 pages of menu can be altered through the transmitter. VTX power (25,200,500ma) and frequency can be changed in seconds.
A few small issues to sort but tuning should be so much faster now and move my name from on top of OSD Volts, cos when you look twice at the volts the ground has already got you!!!

Question... I am missing something...

Quad flys fine, but when I do a roll I punch throttle, pull back, roll... and the thing falls out of the sky... no rolling... throttle back on level off... saved quad.

It wont roll with throttle zero, I need to keep some throttle... but then my roll becomes a corkscrew, is that normal behavior for quads, my previous 250 racer would still roll with zero throttle (I think)... what am I missing, is there a CF setting somewhere? Or am I imagining on the previous quad I zero'd the throttle??

A lot of personnel preference here.
Some people dont like "spin when armed" cos it kicks up loose material. I do like it cos it tells you its armed and you can hear it with goggles on. No need when you have OSD though.
Min throttle I like at 1030-1040 or 3.5% if you have DShot.
Airmode ON as it buys you time if you make a mistake. Where I did 3 rolls I can now do 3.5 and forward pitch to level without really loosing any altitude. Its like it floats when inverted and you have complete control even at zero throttle.
Mine was setup with arming on 1 switch and Airmode on another. You have to turn off Airmode before landing or you will really bounce when the motors just take off.
Quang then said why bother, just run Airmode all the time and disarm when landing, killing Airmode and rendering it safe, which is what I am use too.
Definately some spin at zero throttle and Airmode is my preference.
