| It's the adjustability of the radius block that can introduce the interaction if it happens to be set away from neutral,
which may or may not be good , it all depends how it flies.
"phasing" or "timing" is the aerodynamic thing in heli's where you can end up with a non pure input because the rotor head doesn't repond in a pure fashion at the correct times.It can happen too early or too late and varies with different paddle weights,blade selection,rotor rpm and a million other different rotorheady things,flybar input versus blade input etc.So Hirobo and other manufacturers build a mechanical timing/mix option into the heli that is adjustable, so that if necessary some deliberate cyclic interaction is introduced.This can be done from the radio too and has the advantage of allowing different amounts of aileron to elevator than elevator to aileron,if you want to use the radio it's better to set the heli to neutral timing.
Timing adjusting on the heli is a pain in the arse and just another thing to check on stripdown/rebuild
With radio mix ,once you set it it is easily repeatable with a value or set of values if nothing else on the heli setup changes
,if you feel the need to set any in the first place that is |
