EXI 250 Trim Help
Hello All,
After learning to hover my exi 500 I purchased a exi 250 for indoor. The problem is when the heli gets light it wants to skid left very quickly and when in the air about 1 foot it tilts serious right. The swash is level, servo arms 90 to links, 0 pitch at mid stick, 0 sub trim, heli is balanced. I took the head apart to check it and all seems ok except for very LITTLE play and I mean very very little in the seesaw. Align uses bearings, EXI uses bushings.
I tried trimming, sub trim, same consistent problem. I had a more experince pilot fly it and he got it to hover a few seconds, but really had to but alot of input on the cyclic to hold it.
My thoughts may be that the stock plastic blades are to flexible? When i pick up the heli by the tips of the blades they practilly bend to a U, my carbon blades on my 500 they barely bend.
Thanks for input
Mike
