Its a balancing act between the pitch of the blades, and the throttle telling the motor what rpm (voltage) to run. I've tried to get your set up with 3/4 or higher throttle before liftoff, but the connections aren't long enough. The servo connections are adjusted long, and the seewaw/blade grip connections are adjusted short, but the head speed is still slow. I think the stock TX runs the motor in full power all the time in idle up and the blades only change pitch. When I switch to idleup, that head really gets spinning fast. (especially with neutral pitch)

Thanks for your kind words, guys. What gets me is it was flying great until the flybar link popped off. The high headspeed caused it to seperate, along with the fact it could be wearing thin.

Just have to face the fact that I'll have to tear everything down and start from scratch again. New main gear on up. Wish they sold a complete head unit, balanced and ready to install. You could pull the one bolt from the main gear, disconnect the flybar links and lift off the whole thing then slide the new one back in. I could do my own, but the cost. Man, I gotta get an attitude adjustment...

Thanks for letting me vent.
