Default RE: Walkera Dragonfly #36

Brett,
I think something is causing a LOT of rotor drag. If I had that much blade deflection on mine, it would be piroing insanely fast. I only need a tiny deflection.

If your rotor is ok, try turning the blades 180* around in the holders, turn the blade grips 180* and reattach the balls to the tail slider, reverse the gyro and servo direction. Now it is setup for trailing edge deflection and the slider position will go twoards the other end of the shaft. I don't know how far, and that is the last resort solution.

Orion, Both belts are a Uniente B371. I will need to check the tooth pitch thing, but maybe one belt you compared is stretched or shrunk from being improperly cured in the mold.

I think I may start cutting my own sprockets, or trim them from industrial grade sprocket rod, but plastic sure saves weight when you can use it. I got a metal one for my belt drive FP experiment and it feels like a lead sinker.
