| Hi,
I have bought my first heli, the Nexus 30 in kit form and an OS.32SXH
engine.
I have almost assembled it but I am having difficulties on setting up the
main rotor blades.
The servo arms are positioning the shown angles in their neutral position.
The blades are balanced and the rod lengths are as specified in the manual.
(By the way, I think the part explaining the rod lengths on the manual is
wrong. It says that the scale is 1:1 on the picture, but the rod lengths in
the picture do not match the milimeter values written by their side!)
1) One problem is that, the main rotor blade holders (and of course the
blades) do not move the same angle in response to a pitch command.
When I disconnect the servo arm and I push the rod with hand, it seems that
the servo should travel way more to do that action right. I checked that the
ATV is %100 on that channel. Is this a normal behavior? Any ideas on with I
might be doing wrong.??
2) One other thing is that, the manual say that the tail boom should insert
in the mainframe about 60mm, but I could not push it that much. There are
still 3-4mm left to go, but It doesnt anymore. The tail rotor functions ok.
What about this?
3) I got a CSM 180 gyro. Where to place it, in the front space? It should
function best near to the CG which will be the axis of rotation, is that
right?
4) How do you tap the fuel tank on the bottom after filling/emptying?
Special tap for this?
Thanks,
Alper |
