Iv'e had approx 20-30 flights on the 180cfx with only one small incident where I tapped the tail rotor against a brick, thankfully the weak link broke and all that was needed was a new tail rotor shaft. I can happily fly it, when I say 'mastering' i mean perfecting really. I'm sure i'll want the reactiveness later on when i progress to 3D but for now I am happy with it slightly less twitchy. Thanks.

BA 777 Engine fire at Las Vegas

Posted by Bill_B on 09/09/2015 20:10:05: They're actually on the far side of the aircraft. Ross, when a turbine disc fails and breaches the turbine casing it can come out at any point during a 360° rotation. Had it come out half way up the port side of the engine there wouldn't have been such a catastrophic fire. On the QANTAS A-380 the disc erupted upwards through the wing with relative safety, had it gone inboard at about 45° it would most likely gave penetrated the fuselage with devastating results. That's exactly what I was trying to get at Bill. I got the impression some were trying to say that the fire originated at the wing root (Internally) and that the engine was not the problem at all. -

Surely the fire would have gone straight up though! I think that damage is more likely caused by the fire being blown onto it by the direction of the wind and a combination of Trumpton making sure all was extinguished. Anyway, as we say, we'll wait and see. -
Well before I saw your responses I switched to DR 85% and added 30% expo on Aileron and Elevator and just been flying. The difference is remarkable, an almost uncontrollable Heli becomes a joy to fly. I will at some point try and set up accordingly as per the manual provided above but in the mean time, thanks for all your help.

I got told that expo didn't work on the 180 cfx due to the way its set-up. Can someone clarify this?
