Took my new L14 out for a spin today.
Very nice heli, amazingly fun to fly.
However, Ive stretched it so I run 600mm V-Blades, and I put on 92mm Radix tailblades as well. However, at first flight I got tailwag, had to dial down the gyro (611/9256) to 24% to get it wag free, it held anyway, but the gain seems a bit low. Gonna check some stuff later, but tail slider seemed going easy when I checked. Any tips for me to look at? |

You could bring it in a hole towards the center of the horn. Soudns like you may be one hole out too much. I do not recall the exact measurement at moment, I know I went one hole closer to horn screw than what the manual recommended.

Read my mind
Was down at the batcave just now and moved it in to 13mm distance (was running at 15) Also, I had some 4/6 mm carbon fiber pipe at home, it fitted outside the existing tail support rods, so I glued a couple on there, I guess if the whole heli explodes now, the tail boom support will probably last... :glasses2: |

Hmm, went out today again, now with the horn at 13mm, turned up gain to 33% (34 gave wag)
Piro rate was really bad, some stall turns I actually couldnt get the tail to turn correct with full rudder imput, gonna try raising the ATV next time. I managed to dug up a pair of 85mm NHP blades, gonna test those as well (and go back to 15mm servo horn) to see what I like the best. And strangely I had something that I would almost call a "glitch", however I run a G3 PCM receiver, and it was not a lockout, so I suspect discharge from tailbelt or something.. was flying normal FF when motor just cut out for a few microseconds, just enough for the heli to drop a bit. Scary. |
