Can anybody explain, or suggest a remedy????

On the last couple of Lipos, my Lama V4 has gone round in big circles of 1 - 3 metres diameter The nose consistently points - say - North, but the heli prescribes a circle... forward -right-backwards- left - forwards again.

Sounds like the TBE, or Toilet Bowl Effect.
The heli points away from you always, but follows a steady circular pattern.

One way I know of that can help get rid of it is to attach the flybar the other way around. i.e. unclip it, flip it, and clip it on the opposite side.

Maybe you crashed it and it popped the flybar off and you then popped it back on the wrong side?

Cheers,

Thanks Rob

You are probably correct.

I had not realised that the flybar was tied to a particular side. Is there any way of knowing which it is? Port? Starboard?

Thanks Rob.

Just had a quick fly around the garage. You were right. No toilet bowl effect after swapping the tybar, so I have returned to the office flushed with success.

Yep
If it does the TBE, it's probably the wrong side
LOL
Glad you got it sorted mate!
