Default RE: heli can't lift - the solution

hey Peter,

Hello again. It's very nice to talk to you.

Jack, from Helifreak, corrected me. It seems the name for this fly bar linkage adjustment is not ''tracking''.

Actually, I'm trying to understand what ''tracking'' means. I've searched a lot and found an explanation in a article I bought from John Salt.

''Tracking'' seems to be the adjustment on the blades so that blade A and B tips will rotate at the same level. Is that correct? When they don't, the heli has vibrations, but no lift problems. Am I right?

As to the lift, it can really be affected by the incorrect length of the fly bar linkage and the explanation you gave couldn't be more right.

The guy who helped me fix my Comanche told me he had fixed the tracking, but I think what he actually did was fixing the linkage size.

Let me know your opinion.[sm=tongue_smile.gif]

Thanks.[sm=thumbup.gif]

P.S.: Do you guys in Australia like football? I mean soccer, but the right name is football. Are you watching the World Cup?
