Hello all, We have some progress. After two days of horrible weather, today is pretty nice. So I was preparing to work on the Goblin and change the motor pulley to the 23 tooth, and run it up to 2500 rpm, and I thought to myself, wait a minute, before I do that let me try something. So I went into the Ikon settings and lowered the cyclic gain by 2 points (its set as a 500 size heli) also I had noticed when checking on the governor setup, that really I couldn't get any more head speed out of it without changing the pulley. So really on IU2 it was pretty much maxed out. I thought ok, I'm going to lower everything by 100 rpm. So normal 2100, IU1 2200, IU3 2300. Leaves a little bit of overhead on top. Flew it, Its better, almost perfect at 2100, and 2200, still has a little shake at 2300, I'm not exactly sure what to attribute the change to. "
lowering the cyclic gain by 2 pts"? or "
dropping all the HS by 100 rpm", or maybe like you guys have suggested "
the dampers are just getting broken in". I really don't have the skills yet to put this thing thru some aggressive flight maneuvers, but I'm working on it. In the meantime it has been a pretty good day for me. Thanks to all you who took the time to read and reply and share some feedback with me. I do appreciate it.
P.S. I have been talking to my wife about a new synergy E5. She almost on board with the idea, we have reached some sort of tentative compromise. I will be getting one pretty soon.
