Hoyt Park Dr, Sunday 9/13/15

This time I went out to Hoyt Park as I didn't feel like being surrounded by quads again or deal with the wind.  I also went out there in the mid afternoon, hoping that it would start cooling down by then.

For this session I took out the shims between the head block and blade grips to smooth out the rotation of the blade grips, as I remembered they were notchy during assembly. I also pinched all the binding ball cups in the linkage. I was hoping these changes would get rid of the head bobbing that I've been dealing with. I so increased the headspeed to 3500 rpm. I had no luck though, as the heli was still bobbing. At least it's only noticeable in a hover and not in flight, but still!

I was braver with the 380 this time, attempting some flips, rolls, loops, and stall turns!  Now that the headspeed is the highest it can go with the gearing I'm using the heli feels much better to me. I'm thinking of trying a higher style setting which is supposed to fly more locked in and sim like, which is what I want. 

My pit table in the shade.  I was flying alone, but the occasional dog walker passed by and one car parked across the street watching me fly I guess.
