Hi Guys... A newy here... very very beginner.. I only have experience with my Traxxas so this will be my first time with my helicopter. I have a new Align 300x combo with the Align A10. My first experience was scary. Just a couple of centimeters off ground. And that was it. Just to check. Now... the A10 its setted as "Standard"... I was looking for a "full instruction" for the A10 to get familiarize with the transmitter.. but no luck. Does anyone know where to find a full User Manual of the A10? there was a page from align TW or something but is not loading... I will appreciate any info/link on this as I will take this eaaaasy and slowly... I dont want to get upset on the first minute of flying/crashing !... Thanks guys !!

Thanks Barry !!! I will add the oil for sure. I also was wondering where to get a new potentiometer for my DX6i ... I looked but not luck... any ideas? link? potentiometer or the whole gimbal. Thanks

my guts tells me to leave it in 0%.... safer for everybody. Thanks guys for taking the time to reply. Surely I will have more questions as I'm just starting with RC Helis... I will take it easy, slowly... painfully slowly but safe. Thanks again !!!

Yup Gary... thanks again... it was that... now the fail-safe is set to 0%.... I'm still wondering what would be the safest option for it... ok 100% its a no no... basically its a recipe for disaster.... and a 0% it will depend of how high it is... and my guts says about enough throttle to make it land... BUT... incontrolable with the rotor spinning?... is not safe for anyone... I will prefer a crash with to rotor OFF... what do you think?

Cheers Gary !!! I will dig into these days. Thanks a lot.

Hi guys thanks for the replies... after reading/watching a few videos I decide to clean the potentiometer.. so open the transmitter, the potentiometer (3 metal flaps holders) clean the inside with Isopropanol (looks clean anyway)... put all back and voila !!! its going to 0% and no problem... just tested the heli and all ok in that part. Now... second question... fortunately I test the heli without rotors (safety first). All ok.. back to 0% throttle stop... but I turn the transmitter OFF and the motor started like in full swing !!!... is that "normal"? should I disconnect the heli power first? (sorry if sound a basic question... but my RC car don't do that... Traxxas) Thanks !!!

Thanks a lot I will check it tonight !!!!... I was reading about cleaning the potentiometer, some people called it "throttle glitch"... let's see... Really appreciate your response.

Hi guys... got a second hand DX6i and it seems not function correctly... the throttle doesn achieve 0%, not even if I trim it, and the rotor seems to have power all the time (I disconnect the motor) as you can see on the video... any ideas? is it defective ? I'm doing something wrong? please have a look **LINK** Thanks a lot
