    Thank you Rob and everyone for your hard work !!!
  • @woofie7520
    Thanks Rob and John. This is going to make setting up my new Nexus a lot easier. I am so looking forward to this. 😀
  • @nfavor
    Did my main rotor setup last night and was told to leave the endpoints as they are and adjust via the mixer. Likewise in the Jonas video he s aid to always enable geometry correction with the servos but this video does not. Lots of different ways to do the same things in RF. It will be interesting to see what best practices emerge over time.
  • @scrc511
    First of all want to thank you both for doing this videos. It really made me decide on trying this FBL unit. Hopefully I won your Nexus giveaway but if not, still a big thank you for this helpful videos. I’ll be installing it in my 420 Raw build. Thank you both.
  • @Malzanar2010
    For the yaw, my rule of thumb is that the trailing edge of the blade follows the nose.
  • @bobwatson6558
    Can you highlight again where you go to make sure the compensation is correct for the tail and head. As a long time heli pilot getting the pitch correct when pitching full up and down is not clear to me. Most pilots are going to be at 12.5° to 13° of pitch.
  • So with Rotorflight you do not give any 2° or 3° of compensation angle to the tail blades?
  • @bobwatson6558
    Would you be willing to release a copy of the setup you just did so we can copy it as a new model. That will get things started then we can go back and watch this video to clean things up.
  • @andyMSH700
    Are you sure the top wire is RPM...i was under the understanding it was the sbus middle pin on the nexus FBL unit for ESC telemetry?
  • @bobwatson6558
    Could you please give me directions to your discord. I am interested in getting your set as a starting point.
  • Always enjoy your videos John I do have some off-topic questions about 14 Pole motors end ESC that will work without separate control units Please PM me if you have any information on any of this and could help Thank you Matt
