Great morning for flying and a great start to my week off.
Just the two flights today. I rebalanced the clutch and fan assembly on the weekend and this has certainly made a difference. The heli did get some shakes near the end of the flights, but they were no where near as bad as previously.
I leaned off the needle by three clicks and it made a huge difference to the clib outs, but made teh chaking worse, so I richened it back up so it is one click leaner than it was.
Still loving this heli, just need to get more flights to regain my confidence
Two flights of eight minutes each.
