K guys i need more help. I Love rc heli's havent been doing it long but love it. My problem is though that i cant get this thing even close to a hover. i could hover fairly well with a cx (which i know is a completely different bird) So is this thing just that much harder to fly????
Yes...the cx can be flown in no time by someone with no experiance. it is by design self correcting in hover. the bcpp requires you to keep it upright at all times.
You can learn on this thing if your determined and patient though.
I almost think that maybe there is something wrong with my heli. any advice please help me get this bird in the air at least to a hover that is somewhat controllable. also how high does it need to be to hover well without being in its wash?????
2 foot should be high enough to be well clear of the wash. however it behaves progressivley better from lift off to 2 footish...hovering with the skids only couple of inches off the ground will reveal the most ground effect, 5 inches up is better, at ~10 inches its not really that noticable and so on.....
ANother thing is that when i stand over it up till about 1/4 stick it has a wobble looks like the mainshaft may be bent or something not bad but just a little.
Often, the center hub that has that little button on top with the srew holding it on just makes it apear that the main shaft is bent. AND often it is pretty easy to bend a main shaft.
Does the whole heli shake from this?
Are you you pulling your blades out nice and strait before you wind it up through 1/4 throt.?, are they too loose?
have you checked the blade balance?
Does the whole rotor head system seem to wobble around in a circle when it first start spinning slowly, or does just that little button appear to be moving out of round?
will this affect the bird to bad to fly it?? or will it damage it if i continue to fly it??? Please help me guys i love this but cant stand sucking at it so bad!
Yes if the main shaft is bent its no good, it will fly but it will fly better/correctly with one that is not bent.
