Just put a new one in along with a new boom,the old one was very slight bent after rolling it on quick uk's display cabinet earlier so fingers crossed its cured,find out tomorrow

Hi Nick thats a bummer it didnt help out!!! Maybe try a diffrent type of gyro pad, (the lynx omnicron gyro vibe killer is very good), some work better to dampen out high freq vibe's than others

Also let me know if the new torque tube works as ive notice mine in the 450 and 600 is slightly bent!!!

Cheers

The new tt didnt cure it either,so tonight,i moved some wires about and tried to stop any of them from getting vibes as they enter the vbar by allowing a small bit of slack.It flew nice at 85% tc but any higher made it tip still.....i have flown it at 90% before so im sure i will nail it!

I know it sounds silly but try checking the balance of the main and tail blades, all i can fink of is something is causing vibe's that the vbar cant dampen out, have you checked for slop in the linkages.

No slop mate,could try the align blades again if it still does it

Try them see what happens, also check the main gear, tail gear and bevel gearmesh have no high spots It must be a vibe related prob!!!

Checked all those mate,all silky smooth

Ummm what about the motor bearings? Everything sounds like it should work well!!! Is it like loads of drifting? You prob havent crashed it but check the main and feathering shafts, ive herd someone had a bent main shaft outa the box which caused issues like yours!!!

It was all ok when i got it mate,its something i have done or the blades as i put some edge fbl ones on,im sure its not them but will try just to rule out if my latest attempts fail.Spent a couple of hours last night securing the wires from the vbar allowing a small amount of play in the wires...will try and fly it tomorrow.

What happens is the heli tips left like it would with small input on left aileron

I believe its vibe related,my other 3 vbars are full size so limiting vibes is POP.

normally a left drift is vibes, check your pad isnt too loose, i flew a 500 beastX yesterday and it was horrible because of this

as mine would sit in the hover then all of a sudden it was if i pushed the ali stick to the left

this is a full size v bar your talking about and not a mini v bar?

Its on a mini and like a stick input,Max.
