Do cold dampers cause head wobble?
« on: March 02, 2013, 04:26:23 PM »
Noticed when flying in cold weather. At the end of the flight the head wobbles a little. After landing the blade grips are knocking in the head block. Once it worms up it goes away.
Is this an issue or just a loss of dampening due the the cold?
Should I put in a new set?

I've flown mine in the cold recently and I don't recall it doing that.

If its really cold odds are the batteries aren't putting out as much and the head speed might actually be lower causing the wobble.

Put new dampers in and doesn't seem to bobble at the end of the flight now. Also feels like there is less play at the blade grips.

Can you put on extra .05 washers to adjust dampers compression? Or should it be left alone?

Yes, you can use the head shims to adjust the compression. This allows for adjust-ability so you can achieve the exact head speed you are running.

Thanks,
