I had an issue with tail blow out on punch outs and when I got the Bluetooth adapter I found it was in CCW on a CW 450. Switched it and it made all the difference.
but make sure on F Torque precompensation that you have it set correctly compared to what you set in Setup F Rudder Direction.

Any else run into an issue with the head on this heli being loose? I can literally move the blade grips up and down. I tried taking it off, added some lube, screwed it back together as tight as I can can get it but it's still loose. WTH? I have to say, in taking the blade grips apart, this is the worst setup I have ever encountered. I don't know how you can get this tight to where three no play. in fact even on my other one (Airwolf) it is slightly loose though not nearly as bad as the AS350. Now I"m tempted to swap this head out for DFC since I am using a 6s setup. Has anyone else done this? I don't trust this head at all. the feathering shaft should not teeter totter at all. video here:

Found it easy to find good replacement parts for all the crap that was on the this helicopter. Yes it cost some money. The problem I see now is the fuse. If I smack this thing up, there is no place to buy the fuse or the front or back only. MRC has been out of stock on the fuse replacement parts forever that I can recall. Only other option is to buy another kit for $352.00 delivered and you better do it before they run out of stock because it could be a least a year before they are back in inventory. As I said above I heard they may be discontinuing the RotorScale line. Looking at the bright side, its a beautiful looking shelf queen.
