  • Stationary Spinning, or whatever it's called.

    Been hovering with very little else happening ( except planting the bu**ers ) for quite a while now and have noticed that when doing a 360 spin on the spot, on stopping this the heli goes off sideways quite quickly, to the right from a left spin and to the left from a right one. Very noticeable on the mCPX, and is easily controlled with a bit of opposite aileron, just looks untidy. Is this normal or am I hamfisted (dumb thumbed) with the rudder ? Thoughts anyone ?

    Trex 450 SEV2, hack, freeby, but getting expensive. Binned the bu**er !
    Trex 550 V2. Adrenalin ( brown kind )
    mCPX, better than a Phoenix anyday.
    Several planks, gathering dust.

    Brains and thumbs work okay, but not at the same time.

    The mCP X doesn't do very tidy piros... you can play around with the battery position to make sure your CG is spot on, but whilst it helps a bit the little bastard will refuse to spin on the spot without correcting inputs.

        Cheers Nick, tho' I might remove the thanks after the second remark . 450 does the untidy piro as well, same solution ?
        Ain't been anywhere for 3 weeks lately,gave me back a tweak so can't do diddly for time being. Not seeing you lot for a while's a bonus so I ain't complainin'.
