Head Speed / Aerobatics instruction video

[helo]

Hi Finless,
I've seen your videos and work on several aspects of helis, and have learned quite abit, I'm wondering about what you said about ball links on the T-Rex600 build vidz, and how the "A" should always be to the outside.
Does this mean that the linkages can only be adjusted one whole turn at a minimum, what if a half turn is all that is needed?
Also on the ESC for the T-Rex600, have you or anybody tried setting it to high timing, or is this an absolute don't do for this setup?
Thanks for the knowledge.

totally helpful. I am still no where near this level, but going into this hobbie blind as it were, its hard to understand what people are talking about without visualizing it.

Hi guys,

I had a spate of very bad vibrations after hooking on my wooden blades.
Now that I have switch back to my plastic blades, the vibration seems to persist. Never had this problem till I flew my wooden blades.

I have realised that my wooden blades are way out of balance and I have stuck on a large chunk of tape to get it balance.

However the problem persisted

Can you guys advise whether had the un-balanced wooden blades caused my entire main shaft to bent?

Thanks guys, Bob especially for your setup videos!!

I would like to know how much wind is too much. I have always been afraid of the wind with my trex because of how it becomes unstable. What wind speed did you have the day of the video ,it sounded like 10 to 15 knots. What kind of wind range do you think is ok to learn in as a novice to intermediate?

[Finless]

Yeas I would say about 10-15.... You can learn in wind but it is harder with this lettle heli.... Get good hover before trying it in winds over 7mph.
