Long balls for faster cyclic response!
« on: September 22, 2011, 06:48:02 PM »
If you find the cyclic percentages are very high and the roll and tumble rate are still not fast enough, there is an option! Instead of using the short ball(107-106) on the inner swash, try using the long ball(107-108). These are the balls that connect to the pitch links.  IMPORTANT!! If you perform this modification, make sure you trim approximately 1mm of threads off the long ball with a file or Dremel Tool. If you do not trim the threads they will bind with the swash ball housing causing the swash to feel very still.

Another option is to try different set of blades. Unfortunately not all FBL blades are created equally and some have their limits to which no matter how high you turn the swash AFR’s the helicopter will not move any faster.

Is 65-AIL and 70-ELE in swash rates unreasonable? using a Cgy750, BLS272's and achieving 9 degrees cyclic.  I dont want super fast cyclic but controlled and smooth but not mushy either.

Thanks

Not at all Kevin!

With v1.31 the AIL and ELE rates should be the same. The recommended values should be between 50-70.

Thanks!

Thanks Matt,  I dont have a CIU-2 yet, so still running 1.2 on the CGY750.. But its definitely on the list of things to buy.
