I do have some questions, please. Some background first:
I've been thinking of building a 500 or larger size 500, but am a little 'afraid' to do it right now because I've 'built' a 450-sized 500E with 5-Blade Main Rotor and 4-Blade Cascading Tail and I can't get the tail to hold.
When the headspeed is a little higher, my tail servo doesn't have enough torque to push / pull the tail blades; I'm already using a 5kg servo. Also, I've stripped the entire slider bearing in my attempt to move the tail. When I lower the headspeed, I can't get enough lift.
I've also noticed that your Tail is not Cascading and also it is spinning the opposite way to the way I've set mine up.
Now for the questions:
- Do you have tail problems? If not, does size matter?
- Does making the tail spin the other way make a difference?
- Does it make a difference between a Cascading and non-Cascading Tail?
Thanks. |
Hopefully I might even be there tomorrow.
