Help with triming of a BCPP
Hi all,
well, I got my BCPP yesterday in the mail. Nice bird. This is my first one, but I've flown rc planes for 14 or so years.
ok, I was able to setup the Gyro Gain and trim, the tracking of the main blades.
My question is how do you trim or setup the flybar correctly and the main rotor cyclic?
When doing a slow spin-up and getting light on the skids, the tail is solid (after spending 1 hour setting it up.. LOL) but the CP wants to go left and back.
What I dont understand is that the swash is perfectly straight. What do I need to do to correct this?
Is there videos or instructions with pics on how to set this up?
Thanks

RE: Help with triming of a BCPP
Hi np,
Most helis will tend to veer to the left during take off. You can add a little right aileron stick during lift off to make up for this. As for the heli wanting to go backwards, make sure that the C.G. is correct (as per the manual) and then if needed, add a little forward elevator pitch control trim.
Ray's heli tech DVDs are said to be very good. See more on this here; http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_6060921/tm.htm
Good luck and good flying!
