Lama XRB strange hover
Hi all,
I have a strange circular motion during the hover.
It looks like the model if flying a circle while the nose remains pointing in the one direction.
I never had this before and have no idea why it is happening.
Has anyone any suggestions? Head speed or something???
Thanks for any help.

RE: Lama XRB strange hover
What you have is commonly called The Toilet Bowl Effect. It's caused by some kind of imbalance with the balance bar. Either your balance bar is bent, the inner shaft (the one that drives the upper rotor) is bent, or the balance bar isn't installed it it's holder correctly. Check it out. Could be an imbalance in the upper rotor blades also, but definitely check your balance bar system for any problems.
