Default RE: Wheeeeeeee.......... Blade CP!

Hi Jay,

Things are going well, thanks for asking! And thanks for the referral on the CP parts from autoart4u. All contributions gratefully accepted. Nice air for the last two weeks every morning before work. Out at 6:00am to the park for 2 batteries worth of nice FF.

One concern to report that hopefully the BOBs will address. When flying, I set a timer for 10 minutes and that seems about right to give me enough power in reserve to get back on the ground. However, the last week or so I occasionally have a situation. When transitioning from my 10 minutes of FF to hover in preparation to land, I have a very difficult time controlling yaw. It's like the gyro doesn't want to give me control of the tail to point the nose where I want during landing. Now, during the 10 minutes of FF I have fine control of the tail if/when I need it and the gyro also does a great job of holding the nose where it's pointed. Also, at the start of the flight, just after lift off, I seem to have fine yaw control. The gyro is an Align RCE-500X. Any ideas? Is this the wrong gyro for my Blade CP+?

Thanks!

Scott

Dave, I don't know if you noticed the placement of all of my parts.... Yeah I'm a bit of a copy cat

Scott, hows the flying going?

God Bless!

Here's a pic of my tail saver mod, " Tip of the day" from Dave and well reproduced by Rick. I had at least 4 tail "rubs" making routine landings and this mod works perfectly, no tail touches sense. Thanks Dave[8D]
