Setup, tracking, etc
I banged up my Raptor 50 a little today...No problem (I thought). To the best of my knowledge I (1) broke a blade (2) put a 1 inch ding in the boom (3)pushed the boom in ~1/4 inch (4) slightly bent one of the flybars ~1/4 inch. On the bench, I balanced and changed the blades, adjusted the boom out to take up the slack in the rotor drive belt, left the small ding alone and took the bend out of the flybar.
When I test hovered in my driveway, it wasn't nearly as smooth as it was before today's accident. To this amateur it seemed like the main rotor wasn't lifting as smoothly and evenly as it used to and that the heli seemed to leap off of the ground vs. the smooth transition that I had been accustomed to. I've fixed all that was obvious to the amateur and am looking for some guidance on how to check and adjust the tracking
