| Hey guys,
Reposting the below from rcgroups. I believe I found my problem with the tail and hoping someone can help me solve it.
"okay, figured out what is wrong with my heli, now need you guys to help me fix it.
I went out today and used the original tail rudder metal rod with this thing as the carbon tube I made up was wacking the rear tail fin as I should have cut the tube down more. Working on that this week. If someone knows the proper type of cf tube that I need, let me know, I'm just working with something I have lying around.
Anyway, the orignal tail rudder linkage caused the heli to just pretty much go crazy and crash, lost the blades but the main shaft appears okay.
So I bring it inside, take the main blades off and spin it up a bit to see if the main shaft is bent. Heres the problem. I have the thing just spinning in my hand, main shaft looks fine and I notice its not running smoothly, every so often, it like slows down for a sec. I tried this at a couple of different speeds, each time holding the heli with my hands off the dx7. Last time I flew, the thing was relatively decently holding the tail and the frame is not vibrating much, the random ticks with the tail must be coinciding with this power issue. So my question is, would this indicate a crap esc? Since I didn't have this problem on my trex600, I'm assuming the radio is fine. I did add a new ar6100 receiver, but plenty of people fly them with no problems.
Any suggestions?" |
, you could use zip-ties if you dont have any safety wire. Thats it. Strap some velcro to the bottom of the plate and your done.
