[DALE313]

Every so often im coming out of FFF and i all of the sudden start getting some funky shakes is any one else getting similar syptoms any fixes the helis never been crashed so preety sure nothings bent up

Have you put the canopy grommets you get with the kit on the ball links of the swash?

Mine did the same until I did this quick mod, it takes out all the slop between the links.

Or give our 130X O Ring Kit a shot.

I can vouch for this as it cured mine

Okay ill look into this so its some thing others have experiance then not just me or faulty heli im not sure if the gromits are on the swash ill have a look in the morning just as far as i was aware they did that in the factory now on the smaller blades must just be the mcp-x V2

[MarkG_R1]

The 130 does have o rings on, but they're skinny and don't really touch the links making them pointless

The Rc hero kit includes all o rings required including some for the tail control arm link, doing this removed a good chunk of the slop from the tail blades, the Rakon tail slider did the rest

Thanks ill have a look into some mods tomorrow not thought about modding this yet as havnt had much stick time recently with work and weather

[MarkG_R1]

I was the same mine was gonna stay stock but as it flew so well out of the box I just had to treat it

I'm now practicing inverted hover and flips/loops in my back garden with it so I'm flying every day the weather is bearable even if I can't get to the field

[DALE313]

Agreed it does fly nice i havent done anything too 3D hard pushing it as this wobble makes me think if i did itll bite the dust i just dont like crashing a heli the first time after its met the ground im not to fussed quite handy as the 130s are apperently quite durable

It's definitely a known issue and the larger grommets improve it. The non-bullet blades also make it much worse. On mine, the bullet blades are stable but the non-bullet blades result in an almost constant "cyclic shudder".

PS. It never really develops any further than those wobbles you see. A bit of positive collective usually sorts it out ...

Really just havnt gone that crazy as wobbles always normally lead to uncommanded rudder actions

[Zeeflyboy]

As above, O-rings are the fix.

The RCHero kit is a seemingly convenient way to do it, but you can also get a bag of 50 o-rings in the two sizes for just under a tenner delivered from o-rings and more.

Try turning the gain down on the fbl unit

There's an explanation on Horizon Hobbies webby about gain adjustment since it is a hidden feature.
