Okay, I'm encountering an issue with my 550X. I don't get it on my 300X (same FBL, 7200BX) or my TRex 700E (ikon FBL).
If I get it going at a moderate speed sliding right to left, tail in, when I go to put some collective on it to climb it into a sideways loop the tail will "give out" to the right (nose left). It will hold if I just continue the right to left sideways flight, pretty much no matter what speed I do it at (at least the speeds I've tried it at). It only does this when I start to increase collective to climb it into the sideways loop.
Does not happen on left to right sideways flight or sideways loops in that direction.
Not sure if I have video of this yet. I only really have enough room to try this maneuver at the club field and I haven't taken too much video while there. Hopefully my description explains it well enough.
Is this simply the controller running out of tail pitch room to maintain both the sideways speed and the increasing torque load?
I'll check the deflection end points to see if there's more room. Will also try the tail blades I bought off Tony to see if their increased size will give it the added thrust it seems to need.
