RE: Wobble.................HELP PLEASE
After a crash, even the small ones, something is going to get bent or broken... After any crash you have to have a good look at the heli...
Things to check... Flybars, feathering shaft, main shaft, main gears and tails... Bent flybars, even slightly bent, can throw the head out of align... blade tracking can throw it out, feathering shafts slightly bent will induce horrible wobbles... you have 50+ whirl'n spin'n bits ache'n to fly apart against ur will for them to stay together... So after a flight and especially a crash it makes good sense to check everything over...
happy fly'n

A bent flybar can cause a bad wobble as the paddles won't track... If they are out even a small amount I have found mine will cause the head to wobble like smeg...

DOH!!!! lol... I assumed, stupidly, that it was a FP or CP heli.... My bad... and dumb... DumbDawg <-Hangs head and heads to the corner...
Bowling should have clued me in... toilet bowling....
Fix is easy... take very large hammer and crush it into small plastic micro-millimeter pieces... lol... just joke'n
BUT... you might want to change the title o toilet bowl affect- help please... or similar...
My Lama has never had this problem before... just guess'n here but maybe check for dirty, binding shafts, gears.... one blade set turning slower than the other... Did you try trimming it out, dumb question but thot I'd ask it anyway as I'm on a roll of dumb...
hhmm bout all I can think of right now...hope you get it sorted out soon... and thx to ff for pointing out the obvious flashing neon sign in front of us we can't seem to find... LOL
happy fly'n
