| HI,
the pocket zoom flies not so bad once it is nicely tuned, but htere are two things that need to be reworked:
- FLybar paddles and he flybar lenght
- Blades weight and CG.
The pocket zoom is a very small and light machine. The main rotor needs to turn very fast to be effective, and the stock foam blades are really bad. Wooden blades work a little better, but carbon adapted blades wold just be even better. I'm trying to make a few ones with different CG to try to reduce the slopy behaviour on the cyclic control and to keep a good pitch / cyclic authority anyway, i i find a god combination i'll post the blades datas here.
A very important other thing is to check often washout and all articulations , and the tail belt tension.
Now for the other stuffs, this little be flies quite nice for a chopper of that size and we are already thinking on popping of the stock rotorhead and fly multibladed for fun. This will be " unleashed Pzoom lol !!!)
BEst regards,
Fabien |
