RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP
The key I found out is you have to set it up relly good. When hovering if I notice it wants to tend to go right and i have to constantly hold left cyclic, then I set it down and adjust the linkages so that I have to use less and less left cyclic until it almost stays in one place. The rudder control is going to have to be set with the trim because as the battery dies down the nose of the heli will want to start wandering left. I always have to trim the rudder every 3-5 minutes. This is because the tail is driven by the motor and not by a tail drive system.
It is true that when you get about 2-3 ft off the ground the controls are more responsive.
Today I finally decided to take the training gears off and I like how it flies with them off. I have more response in the controls and better handling. I do state that the landings do have to be a bit more percise since there are nothing to prevent the tip overs.
I also have been and flown in many UH-60 Blackhawks and have always noticed the degree of tilt the tail rotor has and I decided to do some experimenting. I added about 5degrees of pitch to the tail. As you turn the tail rotor the gyroscopic effects make the heli do things your not ready for. The gyro is not that percise and so by doing this I conclude that it might help with the gyroscopic tendencies. It's an experiment and I don't know how well it will work. My batteries are charging right now.
