One thing I did notice though, I think my main shaft is bent from the factory. It's got a bit of a wobble to it when looking at the head button.

It's waggin it's tail a bit, even with the gain turned way down. I'm hoping it's the cheapo servo on the TR and not the cheapo gyro. Hopefully the good stuff shows tomorrow and I can get that figured out. | ||||||||||||||||||

Well, just flew this thing through the fence. Not sure what happened, got a little sideways and it just kept going. I tried punching out but I'm not getting a great climb out of this thing. Guess I'll have to check the gear ratio. Trashed blades, main shaft, feathering shaft and gear set. |

Finally got a chance to get this thing back in the air. Put some Futaba digital servos in it and what a difference over the HS-55's that I tried before. Now it actually responds to stick inputs. Also found out that with the Electric heli's your throttle curve for the Idle up's should basically be 100%across the board, huge difference there also. Flew two packs through it in the back yard with 15mph gusty winds and I've got to say I really , really like the heli. My skills are still a bit dusty so I didn't attempt anything crazy with it, just pretty much hover and slow forward flight. From what I've seen so far with it, I'm pretty darn happy. |
