what does it mean "to trim the helicopter out" and can it be done in the realflight 6.5 sim? And if yes, then how?

trimming the helicopter is very important to flight. Putting small amount of left petal(anti tourque) and getting balance for and aft, left and right is very important. Lifting off in the copter, watching what it does(goes left or right, forward or backward) can be corrected by trim, making pilots job a lot easier.

"to trim the heli out" means on the Futaba Interlink controller there are digital trim pots or buttons for the elevator, rudder, and aileron. This allows you to set the helicopter in hover mode or flight mode when the heli does not flight true.

"Trimming" on any aircraft is a process of setting flight characteristics of the aircraft so that the aircraft flies "straight and level" in the given configuration it is in or experiencing. In RF6.5 you perform this act I on the same way you would on any RC RADIO control, with the trim tabs found next to the sticks. Luckily in the program everything is already trimmed out so you can fly quickly. Real life you need to know and understand a lot more.

Dear JollyJoel: I'm sorry but I can't answer your question. Also, because I bought the helicopter as a gift for my grandson. Sorry.

Morning Chad, I would have to surmise the Helicopter unit is defective upon arrival. If the Helicopter "binds" okay and all other functions work then I would assume you got a lemon from the factory. I also purchased this item couple weeks ago and had a defective unit with my "right servo" not functioning. Quickly do a RMA back to Amazon for a refund or exchange. There isn't much more You can do with these items to correct or fix.

Sorry, I am of no help with this question. We gave the helicopter as a gift to a grandson.

Jo-Ann E. If u read the instruction manual, u will see many typos and translation mistakes. All of my heli instructions are like this. They probably meant to say "Blade Span."

The fake trim tabs just simulate trim controls. You are correct this controller can't adjust trim, however on most flight simulator programs (even inexpensive ones) you can adjust the trim on the computer program itself.This is an inexpensive controller and does work for basic purposes. If you want more realism then you should buy an expensive simulator and use a real radio transmitter

There are loads of customization tutorials for upgrading batteries and motors in foam bodied fixed wing aircraft on the web and on YouTube videos. Although they won't be specific to this rotorcraft, the principles are identical and should be easily transferable. You won't get help from the manufacturer though, this is custom hotrodding that you will have to achieve on your own.

controller can not be hooked to the helicopter. the radio controlls the copter from a distance.go to r/c flight school.com for instructions.

The channels on the helicopter are not select-able via switch. There is only an on-off switch. There is, however, a documented process for "switching" the channels on the helicopter using the control. I don't know the procedure off-hand, but a search on google will find it.

Answer here...Got rid of mine, will never buy one of those small helicopters again. Waste of money and a headache.

I recommend yo to read all the other questions for this same article. I haven't bought it yet, but seems by those answers it is only the helicopter, no batteries, no control, no charger. Another answer says this article is intended just for copter replacement.

I would imagine this might be the older version. It was out back in 2012 so I'm sure by now they have come up with something newer. If I'm not mistaken I think I read something about a newer one. But I'm not sure. I just know this one has been out for some time. That being said, if you do not have one of these, it's a pretty good Heli to fly. As some of the reviews have said, it's not for a beginner but still not too difficult to fly for someone who has a little flying time under their belt and I am assuming by the question asked, you have some experience flying these. I have a lot of fun with it. I have six helicopters. Most of them are indoor size but I do have 2 that are outdoor copters. This is one of them.

The controller itself uses throwaway batteries. They are not included. The helicopter comes with a small rechargeable battery installed in it. There would be no reason to buy a separate rechargeable battery. It is small and wired in. Not really intended to be swapped out.

Yes, but it isn't to hard. I beat the heck out of this thing and trim it out every flight. It isn't as hard to trim out as my large Tri-copter

It is a 6 axis instead of a 4axis helicopter meaning that altitude is changed by changing the pitch of the main blades rather than the speed. This means that the helo can be flown upside down. However this is a terrible 6 axis copter and you should look else ware for a stunt chopper

It shows your cyclic toggle stick move directionally on the screen. It also shows, using stacked bars (think power bars on your phone), that helps let you know how much you had to trim your controls using the trimming slider bars on the controller. It also has a little black helicopter in the background for decoration.

you need to adjust the trim on the helicopter.....trim adjust is on the remote control......while helo is idle adjust trim so that it stabilizes before taking off.....
