Default RE: MSR Hovering Issues...


ORIGINAL: RCKindaGuy



One thing I found is that when I fly the MSR in the living room which has alot of furniture all around I get the exact ''wandring around'' hovering that you describe. However when I fly the MSR up in the loft which is quite open and spacious without furniture the hovering is perfect wth abolsutely no ''wandring''.

So I have concluded from this that due to the ''wash'' created around the MSR from its rotors, a significant amount of reflected ''wash'' can occur if the room you fly it in has lots or furniture around the flying area. And this to me is the cause of the ''wandering'' despite the trimming I do as the MSR is reacting to its own ''wash'' being reflected back at it from different directions at the same time.

I can second on that, I brought the heli into a big, open room, hovered like a champ! But i've notice now after you said that about the wash that since it has a higher rpm at hover than my last heli, it does in fact create a was that "repels it from EVERYTHING! As soon as I get close to the couch, the swirling starts! So thanks everybody, I'm off on my way to a Trex...
