Greetings everyone!
About a month ago, I finally decided to jump into the world of RC. And not just any RC, I opted to start with RC Heli, which is (as most say) quite a challenging genre of RC.
I just had my first crash. Hehehe. Not a bad crash, but it was enough to break the landing skid, bend the main shaft and broke the main rotor blade (woodies). I thought that was it. But when I replaced the broken/bent parts, I got this crazy vibration. I tried the best I can, check the screws and balanced everything. I managed to reduce the vibration to an acceptable level, but still a bit noticeable while flying and the gyro wanders away. It’s driving me nuts. Luckily I love challenges, so I’m not going to give up on this. I realized that in the world of RC Aircraft, we have to master two professions--- being an aircraft engineer/mechanic and pilot. Sweet! Challenging!
Any of you experienced pilots out there have any kind advice to this newbie? Anyone had the same experience with the MT? Please...
I’ve been wondering about the effective steps in order to track down the sources of vibrations. I also have questions on the effects of Head Speed and Pitch Angle (throttle and pitch curves). Will it affect stability and handling? Any of you guys have something to say on this? Any advice would definitely help.
My setup:
Since I’m a newbie, I’ve been flying on entirely stock parts.
Heli: TT miniTitan E325 (stock)
Gyro: TG6100M (stock) --- should I get a better gyro?
Servo: Hitec HS65HB (cyclic)
Radio: JR Propo DSX7 & RD721
Thank you very much! Good Luck to me…
