Sorry been at work. I was using LCD and when I went to adjust the SL amount it would not go past 100 on the LCD. I read on this thread that would be fixed with the next update. Which update was this issue fixed in.

Thanks

I know everything on my helis is balanced, and smooth, but it does seem like there is something different.

Is it actually smoother or is it just a placebo effect?

I wish I knew what changed so I would be able to accept this as a real improvement and not a figment of my imagination.

Haha, you just have TDR fever bro. Nothing you do can make them fly poorly.

Yeah, the opposite from the Trex...

Actually, my TREXes fly better than my TDR does.

I've been sort of following that thread on the TDRs with vibes. Is it a small number experiencing it or is it pervasive but no one picked it up before the SK and V-Bar had vibe analysis?

I need to do more testing to be sure. Right now it looks like my main source of vibes is the motor. I'm going to either swap motors or replace the bearings in the one I have and see what effect that has.

It seems like most of the TDR guys use V-Bar. They seem to not pay much attention to the vibe warnings.

Well if the frame is very RIGID

then it could transmit the vibes a lot more than other airframes with more flexible airframes. The same "problem"

that Kasama has.

I was told to expect high vibes from the tail above 1700 RPM. Made sense because the FBL unit is mounted right on the tail boom block, which is the worst place for torque tube helis.

If all else fails, I'll probably just mount an SK-540 on it, turn the headspeed up, and let it rip. Screw the vibes!

SK-540 is the ultimate vibration filter, LOL!
