RE: Struggling with single rotor basics V2
I didn't have any more parts for the 4G1A (plastic) head for the 300, so I put on the original head with the SuperBlades. It didn't quite fly right so I started ajusting the gyro & now I can't hardly keep it in the air. Never had this trouble before. After the holidays I think I'm going to do an "Ivan" & just strip it down & replace everything I can!
D@mn, I was going to bring my camera today & vid a short flight in the warehouse with the 450 & I forgot it (sorry Jeff!). I want to document the iron monsters who will eventually eat my heli! Yea, Ivan, since the 300 isn't working at the moment I brought the 450 the last 2 days & if all goes well next week too (I'm thinking of just leaving it here until they stop me!). Great fun! And I certainly can use the practice.
I was bound & determined to keep the heli tail right for as long as I could. That pig headness almost cost me body parts! I had to duck under it & back up a step to get out of the way. I've decided that was dumb & not to do that any more. LOL
