Default RE: Hover difficult

vallon take a look in your manual... it SHOULD be able to describe how tight the main rotor blades need to be better than I can basically you want the blades tight enough so that in order to make them move in the grip you have to pick up the heli hold it on it's side and give it a shake before the blades drop/move... if they move/drop when the heli is on it's side without a shake there to loose... it they won't move without shaking the hell out of the heli there to tight. the only thing my book said about tail rotor blades is that they do not need to be as tight[] I set mine about the same as the mains.

if your seeing some wobble as the engine spools up that's normal... mine shakes a bit at around 1/4 stick... by the time I've made it 3/8 stick the wobble is gone... at 1/2 stick I'm real light on the skids no wobble at all... a hair more stick I'm in hover
