Default RE: Heli wobbles during flight

Yeah, I know. But someone flying the falcon may be a very new novice and suggesting a feathering shaft is a lot like like suggesting a muffler bearing. Good chance you could have spent hours trying to identify a part that doesn't exist. From there things just started moving away from our toylike fp world where we just fly it and have fun and into the world of cp where you need a working knowledge of algebra, geometry, calculus and all 4 major fields of physics. (I just passed the test on Bernoulli's work with fluid dynanmics. I figure at my current rate I'll be ready to fly a collective in about 12 years)

And like I said, bloody stumps isn't really out of line. Although the falcon only has a fraction of the head speed a cp has, it can still do some damage, and safety habits have to apply everywhere.
