Basics of RC Helicopter Transmitter Setup for Various Flying Styles

RC helicopter transmitter setup on a computerized radio / transmitter is one of the most important things to understand when getting into the hobby of collective pitch RC helicopters.
A proper setup not only insures your RC helicopter is going to fly well, it also ensures you have your heli setup to suite your ability level and flying style.

That is after all one of best features all collective pitch RC helicopters share; they can all be setup for various flying styles and skill levels. From beginner to pro, scale to sport, tame to insane; having your heli setup to perform at your pace results in more time flying, less time repairing, more enjoyment and of course more FUN!

This video shows the radio/transmitter programming portion of collective pitch setup on a popular micro collective pitch RC helicopter and OpenTX transmitter with test flight afterward showing the various different RC helicopter setups (Normal, Stunt 1 & Stunt 2). Setup steps are the same for other computerized RC transmitters, the menu layout is just different between radio brands.
