130xperts for tail.!!!

[outspaced]

Good info, I have this trouble too and it caused a boom-snapping crash when the blew out on a backwards circuit.

[Mike00top]

have u tried, unpop rear ball link from tail servo, move the arm through whole of travel range, is there any tight spots at all or really slack parts, use a magnifier to check nothing has cracks twists etc,

side to side slow wobbles/waves issues are usually from binding, its also worth using a contact cleaner with lubricant and spray in the servo, this looks after the contact tracks,

if none of these are issues, i would also be tempted to part the servo and clean the tracks manually, then apply some contact lube


hope it helps

Great advice once again Mike! Thank you!

How did you change the gain? In your TX, or using the AS3X menu ?

The gains within the heli

To enter Programming Mode:
1. Move the throttle stick to the full throttle (100% throttle travel) postion and power on the transmitter.
2. Connect the flight battery to the helicopter control unit.
3. The Status LED turns solid blue, then blinks in a series of Red, Green and Blue LEDs.
4. When the control unit is in programming mode, the Red LED is solid and the Status LED blinks.
Move the Elevator stick forward or backward to change between axes.
Red LED = Elevator
Green LED = Aileron
Blue LED = Rudder
Move the Aileron stick left or right to change the gain value.
The Axis LED Is solid when the gain is at the default (neutral) value.
Right Aileron increases the gain and the LEDs blinks faster.
Left Aileron decreases the gain and the LEDs blink slower.
There are ten steps available in each direction for a total of 20 gain values for each axis.
The highest and lowest values are within a predetermined range and do not prevent the helicopter from being flyable.
To reset the gain values to the default settings:
1. Adjust the Rudder travel value to 100% in both directions.
2. Hold right rudder for 5 seconds while in programming mode. The Red, Green and Blue LEDs will blink in a sequence
to indicate the default settings are active.
To exit the menu:
1. Disconnect the flight battery from the control unit.
2. Move the throttle stick to the low/idle position or activate Throttle Hold. Leave the transmitter powered on.
3. Connect the flight battery to the control unit.

Just been looking at it again & the small tail gear is slipping/turning on the shaft, i have got a spare one but does anyone glue there's because looking at it it looks as if it wouldn't take much to slip.

[n00by]

yes i put a very small drop of CA on the end.

The problem with gluing it is that something else will then probably break in a crash. At least the C gear is cheap and easy to change!

Started stripping the tail apart to fit new alloy tail slider & its the tail shaft bearings that are shot, are there any quality ones in stead of stock

[tourerjim]

opted for the stock as i couldn't find stock for upgraded bearings, are these things meant to be greased from factory as i cant see slightest dampness of grease in them.???

yes all metal bearings should have lubrication of some sort

look on the web for RC-Hero they were doing a set of high quality japanesse replacement bearings, well worth an Email

My 130's tail holds on gain but waves side to side as if wind catches it, upped gains changed gears but still same, any ideas.???

After fitting tail slide, bearings, tail shaft, still got same problem so took all blades off & spooled it up to find ive some serious vibes, took the tail shaft out & slightly better but still there so worked my way back to the motor which has some real bad vibes any one else suffered this.! & is there motor bearings available.???

[tourerjim]

anyone want to help us.!!! just need ya to take blades off & spool up with fingers on motor to see if ya got strong vibes before i order another motor

[coolice]

Hey buddy.

Whats the gear mesh like? If it's tight this can cause a problems I think.
Also have you removed the motor to see if there is any movement in the shaft to indicate a bearing has broken down?
Is the tail drive shaft still in place? I think the front tail drive gear can also induce vibes if it's mesh is too tight.
