Things finally clicked for me on cleans. I realized that I had not been paying attention to the jump part of the movement and thats why
I had been failing so many reps.

I did these a singles with about 1.30s rest between them.

Walkera 4G6 Helicopter using the new V120D02S receiver



12/14/2011

I just finished installing the V120D02S RX in my 4G6. I copied the settings from my genius cp. Then hovered it only a foot off the ground. Still in ground effect. Even so I could tell it was much more stable but something was off. When I hit throttle hold the head speed would slow but the heli. would float up a bit first  Turns out that my pitch channel needed reversing. It's a good thing I didn't try to do more than hover a foot off of the ground before finding that out

I also tried flying it with the rx in setup mode. Since I still have the flybar on that made it fly just like having the old 2609 rx in. Pretty cool to be able to switch back and fourth.

I'm still tweaking my tail gyro setup but even with the pesky vibration I have the tail holds much better in rate mode than I ever could get my 2609 rx gyro to hold. So far I'm impressed.


12/15/2011

so I finally tracked down the vibration I had. Now flying my flybarred 4G6 with the V120D02 RX seems very smooth and stable. It will stay in the same orientation hands off for a few seconds. Since i'm flying indoors I have to put my hands back on and touch the pitch because its very sensitive with the high head speed of the TA915.

I have the Elevator\Aileron gain, and extent set to 10 o'clock. With these settings it felt like I had too much expo. So I went in to my 2801 TX and set expo to linear (no expo). That only made things slightly more responsive.

I just realized that when I originally set the two pots I thought one was for aileron gain and the other was for elevator gain. So maybe if I go back and increase the elevator/aileron extent pot, the heli. will feel more responsive

I think lack of sleep finally caught up with me this time. During squats I felt tired the whole time. So I didn't go up to my scheduled 345 top set. 
I know I did the bench first but I don't think changing the order could have made *that* much difference

Madcow weeks 5,6 and part of 7


Well I finally got back around to uploading my log. I did take a week off for thanksgiving
even though I biked 20 miles that week. Otherwise I haven't missed any workouts.
I thought the week off would affect my strength more than it did. It really seemed
to affect my stamina. I feel like I get tired sooner now.

Anyway here are all the logs I missed uploading up to this point.
