It's the end if a short weekend before I enter the 7th reign of hell.
Weekend flight count is 12 flights. The first three cycles on each pack were to break in the packs. The 4 packs today were flown fir 5:30 to 6:15 minutes to see how low they get. I ended up between 46% to 56%. On the very last pack I did 5 minutes I switched to iu1 which is set at 70% across. Did a few small pumps and had some bogging. I do not have the governor set as of yet because the tail is not done.
As for the tail I finally got the tail to stop drifting left (nose right) . I added some I gain, 5 points and it seemed to not drift. I then had to add 2% gain so it would lock back in. A flight later the tail would act out just a bit. It would blow out or drift left while in a hover. I will say the wind was making it had to dial in.
The head on the other hand has been different. I have had the gains as high I could with out shaking or bobbing about. I then dropped the gain as low as I could until it got mushy. I wanted to find my range. So I raised it to just below max. Now I have an up and down shake that I tries to tune out. This shake or bob is almost unnoticeable. I raised the I gain and I think I got better. I won't know till I fly again, I will need to add 5 or 10 more points to the I gain and raise the D gain a little also.
Now for the negative tendencies I have. Now keep in mind I have not been on the sticks for some time and I am trying to get back on it and the wind was not the best. I noticed that on lift off the heli likes to lift while leaning right and tail dipping down. Not sure how to fix that.
Yesterday I found a loose tail grip and redid the screws and snuged up them up. Still running smooth in the tail. During this maintenance I thought I would look at the gear mesh and any play in the kit. I found some play in the gears for the tail and in the main shaft. The gears are just a bit loose and the main shaft has up and down play. Now I went and looked for my shims. Low and behold I can't find the ones I need. So I may have to place an order for $1.60. The shims I can order are only for the main shaft. I need to find a shim for the torque tube gear in the rear.
I think these 2 issues are causing me the problems I see so far. All in all I think it's going well For my first torque tube heli. I do miss my protos mini and want that one flying soon also.
I started the weekend off with 2 flights already on the app.
