My Posts This: Topic Forum | Softening the pitch curve around hover is not a bad thing. I know a few good pilots who do this intentionally to calm it in middle stick.
We do spend a good deal of time around center so flattening around center can be a good thing to make it less jumpy.
1900 really is fine for the rexpro. It will pop more at 2100 (amazing what 100 more rpms will do. Your safe up to 2100 with plastic paddles, you may wish to experiment a bit and pull that sucker up to 2K though.
25% nitro is pretty close to 30 so I wouldnt expect a big effect there either. Still a gov is a good thing, (or at least a rev limiter) You should double check your blade speed if you have not, anyway to be sure you are where you think you are. Good curves are basic and need to be in the TX anyway, but a gov can help with the bogging I think. Gov prices are down so for under 70 you can get a pretty decent one. Once you have one, you will wonder why you didnt sooner 
Heres a thought, find a guy at your field you really trust who knows how to fly 3d really well and ask them to try the rolls, flips, tic tocs. Maybe if they can manage it and keep it from bogging then it may be just you, but if they are struggling then its setup or something phisical on the heli.
As for the wind tipping the heli, thats your paddle weight. Lighter paddles will cause this, but also give faster flip rate. Stock paddles are really good, I put on the Align carbon and noticed the wind tippage, but I soon got used to correcting for it and prefer the fast flip rate.
May help to check that the paddles are level at zero pitch as well
PS: on my rolls I barely give any pitch input, nearly at zero, because it is so responsive, but never heard of a bog in a roll really. |
