Swashplate movement - self leveling

[B0tt0mline]

Hi,

I am currently leveling the swashplate on my Goblin 500. When I have it on normal mode the swashplate is perfectly levelled. But when I switch to self leveling the swashplate moves pretty far and ai think this is why my Goblin drifts when I have self level on...

ycan you maybe help me?

Its normal for the swash to move when SL is activated. This is to counter a helis natural translating tendency, so the swash tilts to the right to compensate for the tail rotor pushing the heli left

There are many factors that can cause the heli to drift in SL. The FBL unit must be perfectly level with the top of the main shaft in all planes, and this is rarely ever the case. The COG must be spot on, and just any small wind will move it too. SL will never hold the heli in place for more than a very short time before it start to drift.
