Fresh from overhaul - with the wife taping. Go figure. Good news is the only thing bent were the pylons on the body and 1 of the blades. The control inputs were forward cyclic, left rudder full with increasing throttle - the nose swung left and dipped about 30* low and got a ton of speed where it should not have. Had no roll control once it picked up speed on the way down - almost as if it went into compressibility. Weird thing is, it only does this when a peddle turn is made to the left, never when made to the right, yet the right swings the nose around faster.

Torque. I had an R/C plane that was like that- right rudder did next to nothing, left rudder would almost put it into a spin.

Except for the crash that is so cool.

Its coaxial, torque should be negated.

Trim?
-
It cancels the torque from the spinning blades, but it'll still have torque from the electric motor spinning away. Not much, but when you throttle up, it gets noticeable.

Note to self, right turns only when running hard.

You should stick to fixed wing aircraft. :aok

be glad your wife gets involved with you in what you like to do.
I get stares, complaints, and 'you should be doing this instead of playing with toys' lol...

i fly a 50 sized raptor. it has a digital high speed tial rotor servo. even just in a hover, you should see that thing working its arse off keeping the chopper steady.

Nice place, Wolf.

needs more wife

New helicopter $150.00
Countless hours and materials spent assembling the helicopter -- $100.00
The look on Wolfala's face when it smacked the tree-- Priceless
Good luck next time sir, good to see you could find the humor in it <S>
