I just took the head assembly on my stock BCP apart for the first time. There are no O-rings on the spindle, as shown in the exploded view, and indicated in several of the repair post. Seems like it flew ok w/ out them. If I install them, what should I expect?
I'm just learning to hover. Will damping the head (assuming that's the function of the O-rings) make it more or less stable?
No O-rings? Are you sure??? I would think that a BCP that is missing the O-rings in the head would be practically un-flyable!
The O-rings should be pressed down inside the main hub.
If the head dampening is too loose, it causes problems. One of which is that the blade tracking will not be consistent throughout the power band.
