  • Blade tracking

    I bought some GF blades to use while I'm hovering, as CF ones are a bit too expensive to break.

    I put them on the heli, and the tracking wasn't right. My darling wife was going shopping, so I asked her to get me a non-permanent marker so I could do the tracking. Gues what colour she got me?

    PINK!!

    why not just use a lil sparky tape thats all i do?, but if you run out of pen and you use permo you can remove it with nail polish remover i think

    Before you ask:

    About 2 miles
    Over £500
    Very difficult
    Over 80mph
    NO, you can't have a go



    Don't forget the 'Search' and 'Thanks' buttons.

      Probably right, Nik. I just thought it was funny, as I've given a few people on here stick over certain pink items.

        not sure pink will be bright enough to see. I use a 3" strip of red or blue insulating tape along the leading edge. Even that's not really clear but good enough for the job.

            Really you should only need to adjust one blade grip link.. just mark which one you are adjusting on the grip and as Holst says above.. it's better or worse depending on which way you go

              TBH, I was looking to get a laugh with the PINK marker pen. Thanks for all the excellent advice, tho. My tracking is now sorted.

                  If you've finished with the pink pen Brian, you should put it up in the 'for sale' section, judging by previous threads I'm pretty sure you'll get a taker pronto.

                    Do you fancy making a bid yourself, Pete?

                      Pink eh? Must get some of that to match the fuel tube I'm gonna buy...



                      Hope the tracking fix goes OK. Tis easy to do. The hardest part is getting it to hover at an altitude where you can see it, and then paying attention to what the blades are doing rather than your thumbs!

                        Nah, I'd hate to deprive those with the pink gimp masks or pink kilts.

                        Mind you I do fancy this pink wig thing, (although in my case it's just an excuse to have hair again).

                          I'll ask the wife where she got it.
