Blade CP climbs in forward flight after Bell upgrade?
Has anyone else noticed that after putting on the Bell upgrade the helicopter climbs a lot more in forward flight? My helicopter is trimmed for a stable hover but when in forward flight I have to hold down elevator all the time to keep going level. If I let off, the nose pitches up and it climbs, eventually losing airspeed. Is this a normal thing? I don't remember it being this dramatic before the Bell mixer was installed. Overall though I love the response after the upgrade. I can easily do loops and rolls now. Hovering in the wind is a little more difficult as it seems to jump around more (probably just me). I have been surprised at how well these things handle wind for their weight. A friend and I have flown them in up to a 15 mph wind and still had a lot fun although going upwind was a little slow.
Thanks,
Chris
