Thread: VBar and tail problem

Morning Tony.

This is good to hear.
So in the end the problem was just simply an imbalance in tail throw to the left and right side, brought about in this case by the tail blade grips design?
Would I be right in assuming the control arm on early grips isn't on the centre line of the grip? I'm going to look at mine on the 700 now.
.

looks like it the new design just pushes the blades that little bit further which then releases the tail.

it wasn't until i put the parts next to each other on the bench I actually saw the difference in them, and even then I though such a small difference couldn't make that sort of change, but it does, I went from hating flying it yesterday morning to wishing I had taken with me a few more packs, I was quite disappointing to have to go home and get ready for work, but the early mornings were worth it to get the machine all up and running happily

now I can get about fine tunning the vbar as its almost there I just want to tweek it a little, im now going to push up the gain a little on the tail as there is no sign of any wag its around 85 at the moment. be interesting to see how far it can go. plus cyclic is a little sluggish so tweek that a touch as well.

Now looking forward to a good weekend.
