This config makes me fly comfortably even in quite strong winds.
Please try it if you are a beginner like me.

Throttle Hold (RUDD D/R switch) locks channel 3 and timers, cyclic servos respond as to selected flight mode.
Timer 1 Stopwatch, triggered by throttle (channel 3)
Timer 2 Countdown, triggered by throttle (channel 3). Starts from 5 minutes. Usually I've used 70% battery after 5 minutes.
Timer 3 Permanent, triggered by throttle (channel 3). Accumulated flight time.
Comments:
*** All settings based on heli set for zero pitch at mid stick ***
In normal flight mode (FMOD 0) 20% expo and 80% servo throw is applied to elevator and aileron.
In flight mode 1, still 20 % expo but full servo throw.
Flight mode 2 gives no expo and full throw. Not as scary as you might think.
Pitch uses the same curve in all flight modes, but increasing throw.
Rudder uses -10% expo in all modes to give better tail response.
Gyro is not controlled from the flight mode switch, but instead independently set by the Mix switch.
50% means the gyro is disabled, so the Mix0/1/2 settings correspond to 80%/70%/60%. Lower settings help when getting into
fast forward flight.
My helicopter came with a preprogrammed Devo 7, that had no taming down put into it.
As I got a Devo 10 with Deviation I could put my own settings in there, and making it a bit slower has really made me learn faster.
I started out with Tom Z's fine configs (
www.deviationtx.com/forum/model-configs/...rs-beginner-settings
),
just adjusted them to better suit my needs.
Model stored as model1.ini, take care to rename to a free slot.
Icon used for this model is TREX250.BMP, copy that file to the 'modelico' directory.
I use fixed Id, you may choose not to.
100 mW output power.
I use these settings in the tx.ini file, which gives a 10 s heads up before a countdown timer runs up, and a new warning every 10 s.

prealerttime=10000
prealertinterval=10000
timeupinterval=10000
