LoveToFlyGuy’s Logbook

Ok…

<RANT>

I was having a lot of fun when this all began, but I’m getting *VERY* tired of trying to fix this stupid heli. Actually, it’s the constant “what ELSE could be wrong with this stupid ***?” that is driving me nuts. I just want to fly, darnit! I understand that fixing these things is just a part of the hobby, but really! Two weeks (or more!) and no takeoffs? I have only one thing to say - ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!

As you can see, my flight preventing issues persist. I think I’m about ready to break down and try to find a local “expert” to help me figure this out…

Problems:

Full power (max RPM - training mode) = max *negative* blade pitch.

Loss of tail rotor control, i.e. tail goes dead on startup. Kinda’ hard to control that way!

Binding somewhere in the rotor head linkage, causing one of the servos to stick in the full up position.

Rotor blade tracking is off…

HB Cool rotor blades are too long for the King - I need new blades, I think I’ll make my own out of paint sticks (as seen somewhere on the web).
