Default RE: Blade 400 - Tips, tricks, and mods

Bought a new gyro and you know what? Still had the same problem. [sm=48_48.gif] Now I’m pissed and 64+$ lighter. Started checking everything again starting with the tail. Can you spell D a a a a?[sm=bananahead.gif] Found the answer to the 64 dollar question. Had a slightly out of line tail rotor feathering coupling causing the pitch to osculate ever so slightly. Throw in a gyro trying its best to keep things at a given point and you get a waging tail not related to a gain setting.[sm=49_49.gif]

Guess you could say the tail was waging the dog.[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
