I went to the hobby shop yesterday to nab some junk for my truck, Had the guy open a Blade for me so i could check out the see-saw on a brand new one. Exactly the same.
The cool thing about these little heli's Vs the gas ones.. ya can hold it in your hand and scope out its performance. As I was doing so, I watched how the entire rotor head reacted as I manipulated the body. From what I can tell, that rubber o ring slop sort of acts as a buffer between the main blades and the main shaft, If you hold the main blades at their tips. wiggle it around some and I notice that the weight of the body is much smaller than just pushing up and down on the blades. I have concluded that its not the o ring slop thats making your blade tracking difficult.
Well I think I've found the problem. Plain ole dirty. I took the head apart and cleaned everything. I cleaned bearings, bearing spacers, the spindle...everthing that needed lubed and could be lubed. Then I put it back together. Seems to work now.
I guess it just needed to be cleaned. Who would of thunk it....
Anyway it's much better now.
On to the next issue. My symmetrical bladed won't fit in the grips. They are so tight that even with the grip screws just in, the blades won't swing freely. Horizon told me to "lightly" sand the main blade hold down plates.
