My Posts This: Topic Forum | FBoss, about the flybar weights, maybe I wasn't clear. They sure must be kept symetrical (equal distance from head block), but they can both be moved out or in. This changes the overall inertia of the rotating head and can impact vibrations modes, thus avoid the head entering vibration at all. Of course, at the same time this makes the heli more or less responsive, I'm not saying this is the solution, it can just give some indications to what the problem could be and how to solve it.
I don't quite get the "throttle hold when flying in" either? If you mean that when you've lost control and going to crash it's a good idea to hit throttle hold, I agree. Crashing with throttle hold sure can save some parts (clutch, engine, gears, tail, head components, ...).
Personnaly, I took the "low hovering" option (up to let's say 50 cm) when learning and it turned out well (my first crash came much later, well learning circuits). I find it hard to fly at 2 or 3 meters high without been able to hold the heli in place. |
