e-E-Sky Honey Bee- Lama- Belt CP- E-Smart > Radds ... 1st battery for new HBK2

Hello all, as some of you may remember I am new here and have a HBK2. I got it last week and had a change-of-life experience with the idle-up switch on the workbench. Anyhow, I got the replacement parts and have the heli back in working order.

I have decided to start Radds class today and have just spent half a battery pack and now I have a few questions.

1) There is a decent amount of vibration in my heli at about 1/3 stick. If I up the throttle a little more and get to the point that the blades are just starting to whistle (I know Radd says not to but I couldn't help it and I did not get light) at about half stick, it seems very smooth. Does all this sound normal?

2) It seems that my main blade holders are not very tight. I have read that you want to tighten them just until the blades will stay put when you lay the heli over on its side. Does that sound right. I think I have them just a little loose and when I throttle down, they move quite a bit.

3) At just over 1/3 stick the tail starts to wander left (nose right). Using the rudder I try to correct it but even at full left rudder, I can just barely start to bring it back. What do I adjust to fix that? Or is it just a function of not enough rotor speed?

Thanks for the help guys.

yes to 1 and 2
I like to run my blades tighter because My headspeed is higher and it solves tracking problems I run them just where they wont fall when shaken.

as far as radds goes do all the floor training at 1/2 stick on the king it doesnt liftoff till 3/4. the tail is unpredictable till you get past 1/2 stick its not turning fast enough to compensate for main roto torque.

a lot of us were where your at not to long ago myself included. I am an elite veteran that just means I am typing more than flying which is not good for me. Anyways enjoy the hobby its hard costly and most people give up. It takes time and patience and an account the wife doesn't know about. But every milestone is just that much sweeter.

Good luck

Im A Bigener "All Over Again"

I to found out the hard way what that switch did. Picked up the transmitter to check all servos were working, and slid off the K-Table, and into the dishwasher and wobbled around on the floor. Sure wish thAre was some info on the transmitter. I flew the big Nitro stuff in the mid 70's. Kavan Bell 206 JR, with a OS-60. Back before thier were gyro's. Im hoping the parts get here by Friday. Had planed on tracking the blades, and Spooling-Up, and going to Zero-Bubble, and see what it dose. Dident evan plan on hovering till I ran first battery threw it. Spin every thing and let it losen up. I do have the E-SKY sim and fly it till I found

Try it, works good with transmitter. Flys like the R/C Helicopter. Lot harder, becouse it dosent follow right behind as if yr PIC, and looking threw the wind-screen. I cant change the Heli-Sim, so im on the ground as if were a the flying field. Can still fly as good as I did 30 years ago, but it gets a way on me at times, and I lose nose heading. Trying real hard to keep it from going 100 feet away from lift off. Try it, it will get you up to speed quicker, and great when it's to cold out, or to windy to fly out side. Only 25 today in Branson Mo.

I wish thAre was a way to cut out the T-Up switch. All I did was to pick the transmitter up. Right Hand pick up from now on. So im humbled by the new stuff today. HBK-2 is just right to work on Hovering 2nd Nature in front room, when all cats are taking thAre Nap.....! Till ya can, dont try and nose-at-you, hover. Till you move the stick with out having to think "Witch Way"......! Saw a lot of $$$$$$$.00 spin into the ground years ago.

It's like the game. "It's Only A Game" if you won today. If you lost, (Your-Helicopter)it's not only a game anymore. The games over when its $Chingle.00 time. Thats whAre the sim comes in handy, passing the days till the Brown Truck, pulls up. "Im Waiting" ? So were learning the hard way, but thanks to finding RunRyder, were off and learning a lot quicker, and getting questions answered, instead of busting up parts. Texas Dar
