It looks like my swashplate is level, but its not flying straight!! What nOw!!!

# When you say it is not flying straight what do you mean??

When I just want it to hover it goes right , and the tail wagges like a dogs tail.

[Raygun]

You have the gyro gain set to high that is causing the wag turning to the right could be a number of things from bad motors to motors that are to tight to the main gear to 3in1 out of adjustment to a bad 3in1 to something like a bad bearing dragging one motor down.. Ray

What do you mean by "it goes right"?
Does it yaw to the right or roll to the right?

[svdl]

I am am still a novice so I dont know the terms. I got the wagging sorted, and I got it flying straight. But the tail spins in a clockswise manner, but the trim settings cannot correct it!!

[Raygun]

Set your trim in the middle power down the Lama if nothing is binding and the motors and 3in1 are OK you can adjust the proportional adjustment to slow or stop that if this does not work then you have to look at the motors, 3in1 ECT. Then turn up the gyro till you get a wag in the tail and then back it off till you dont.

You must power down to make the adjustments and make sure all trim but the throttle are in the middle. Ray

If I buy a Spektrum DX6i with AR6200 (NO Servos - Mode 2) Will I have to buy servos aswell, or can I use the stock ESky Servos

[Solitaire]

No problem, the Esky servos work just fine with the Spektrum system.

Hi all.

How has everyone been?

I got my heli flying good, but there seems to be a new prob. I installed the complete alu set from mirecale mart, but now the following happens.

my heli hovers, and then I sways, almost in a circle like pattren. One moment it is hovering straight and the next it tilts left, back, forward, est. What can this bE? My inner and outer shaft is not bent at all, and all the blade grips and other alu parts seems to be fine, WHat can be causing this?

[Raygun]

There are only a few things that will cause that a swashplate not level the links between the swash and the blade grips are not exactly the same length (readjust) or the biggest is the flybar is binding or out of adjustment my bet the flybar is not adjusted right.. Ray

[svdl]

How do I adust the flybar??

[Raygun]

You just pop off the link and adjust it one way or the other. I just did one I turned it all the way in then out 3 full turns that seem to work good also check the flybar for straight spin it between two fixed surfaces and see if the shaft is straight. Ray

Thanks ray, Will try it!!!

You are like a Heli god
