Tail and Motor Vibes

[bstanley72]

Wanted to post a follow up. I think we’re straight. Thanks for your help!

Here is a flight from today: LOG112.zip

The spikes correspond to some hard collective/cyclic moves (flips etc.)

This may be a dumb question. By the tone of your last post it sounds as though you are now happy with your vibe level. So is it normal to have spikes with heavy collective like in your last log? Are we only realistically going to minimize the ones during a hover?

Congrats on your efforts! You are a role model for perseverance!

Honestly, I don’t know if it is normal or not, one of the more experienced users could chime in. However, for me the vibes are under 1 for the vast majority of the 7 minute flight, with short spikes under 3 that last a second or two while I’m hitting the collective/cyclic pretty hard. I think that’s pretty good, or at least I’m at the point where I want to stop tinkering and start flying!

What did you do to make such a big difference? It sure looks good.

New bearings in the tail and motor mixed in with a little profanity. Seemed to do the trick!

I posted a couple of logs up above from a bench test I just did with main blades removed and all I did was tighten the tail belt though it wasnt very loose and the second log is much better..maybe not good enougy but close

I could definitly feel less vibes holding on to the heli

Lots of cussin too!

Yes, it does seem like small things can make a big difference.
