Help Stop Ballooning?
Stock Walkera 4 helicopter .
How to stop ballooning when in FFF?
And , yes the CG is set right. And I even have it a little nose heavy and still balloons like crazy when in forward flight.
I even pushed the elevator trim all the way up after getting into forward flight? It would still balloon.
The only way I could keep it in a FFF was to hold all the up on the stick for down nose on the stick and it would still balloon!
Anyway to make this thing fly strait ? I fly a Trex and it is great, but I got this just for fun.
Thanks

RE: Help Stop Ballooning?
I reduce throttle. They FP blades behave much different than semi's or even flat bottoms in FFF. I dont think you can ever totally eliminate it with FP birds, but you can mostly mitigate the effects by reducing throttle. Of course, come to a stop and you have to add it back in.
