Just hit the pre-order button for the EVO. I might have to sell a kidney to pay for it, but what the heck.
Thank you father, but I must confess to using more than a bit of blue language during this process of elimination.
I found the problem! The boom was bent ever so slightly. I put a new boom on and voila, the vibe readings are down to 479. How the heck the boom...
All of my birds are using V-bars. It was what everyone was flying at the time, so I knew I could get help with it. I did have a Skookum on a 550,...
Dale, I slept right through it. There was a break in a water main at the flying field and that cause a giant puddle where we normally park our...
I changed out the TT and bearing, but it didn't make any difference. I put a friends tail box on and everything was fine. You can see my tail...
A 6.1 Earthquake hit near Napa and American Canyon this morning. Our FF is near there, so I'll be looking around for any damage to the buildings....
As I am now learning unfortunately!
My beloved Heli God Father, I have done as you ask and the vibes are definitely tail related. The torque tube assembly and the tail boom are the...
I agree, but I'm going to throw a whole new TT assembly in it at this point. I'm tired of messing about with it.
Just bought a new complete tail assembly. All new bearings, shaft, and hub and that didn't cure what ails me. It either has to be the TT or the...
Thank you Sir Simon! I will indeed post when and if the issue is ever resolved. I feel like I'm chasing a phantom at the moment.
The tt bearing feels fine, and there is no lateral play in it that I can notice. I'll probably take it to work with me and put an indicator on it...
If my friends remember to bring the parts to the field tomorrow, I should know. It's stuff like this that is really hard with this hobby!
IT has to be the TT. The V-bar vibe analyzer says the frequency equates to around 11,000 rpm.
The main shaft is running true. The blades have never touched the ground. The V-bar Vibe analyzer shows a vibe of 79 with the TT out at stunt one,...
Feral, the TT looks very straight to me, and I've got a pretty good eye for that sort of thing. The heli feels fine until it gets near the head...
I've got one on order. I've checked everything else and replaced enough stuff, so It has to be the TT. The bird has never been crashed, so I don't...
offer vibration pardons? I'm stuck in vibration purgatory at the moment with my T-Rex 500. The bird has never been crashed and suddenly there is a...
I think he should be paying his dues at all of the fields he visits. Hey, it's only fair. The dues are a small price to pay vs the damage that is...
