mini t flybar

[simon1]

Finally got my mini t in the air after purchasing one from ebay 2 months ago, got about 6 inches off ground and it starts to ocsillate pretty badly, took it back indoors, feathering shaft ok, main shaft looks ok, although havn't fully removed it, but I have a slightly bent flybar! must have come bent when i bought it. Just wondering whether this would make my heli do tail circles so badly?!

Cheers

Very unlikely.
could be main shaft.

[sacko]

Yup, prob the main shaft, get a video up.

As said, I cant see it being hte flybar, I normally just bend mine back straight'ish all the time.

[Made2Fade]

yep i agree... mainshaft... alot of guys just bend the flybars back and ive never seen what you are describing after they have done that.

looks like it could be that then, problem now is took part of the head down, unlocked the top collar and tried to unlock the collar above the main gear, using an allan key, think iv knackered the bolt fitting, now the allan key spins round and doesn't bite, bit clueless how the get it off now, any ideas?

cheers

I had a similar problem and that's why i now own a dremel,Your gunna have to grind it off i think mate.A tool like a dremel is a must have in any modellers tool kit IMO.They have cheap ones at Maplins aswell.

[simon1]

yeah thats what I was thinking mate, just hoped theyd be a magic solution from more experienced rc heli addicts, never mind, just a shame really just more time now to get it done, back to the raptor for the time being then , thanks everyone anyhow

by the way which drill to you go for and how much if you don't mind me asking mate

Simon

Which collar are you refering to, is it the collar below the swash plate or the bolt holding the main gear to the mainshaft ?

[simon1]

the collar that holds the main gear onto the shaft sits just above the main gear

[simplyraptor]

Two sets of pointed nose pliers should do the job, grip the allen key end and undo the nut instead.

[simon1]

will give that a try tmrw cheers!!

If you have the 325se model with alloy head then good chance its that, I crashed mine year back now but took weeks to find it was the head that caused same fault as your explaining
