| I made my first flight today with the Vigor sporting the OF five blade head. I was pleasently surprised at how stable it was, once my hands stopped shaking!
I have at least one blade slightly out of track and the throttle curve needs a bit of tweeking, but over all I'm very pleased.
I'm using the OF head, swash, swash follower and 620 mm OF blades. I'm using no electronic mixing or gyros on the head. Next time out, I want to get the tracking squared away and the throttle curve adjusted. My plan is to then do some more hovering until I get the "feel" for it and then on to see what forward flight will be like.
Once I'm satisfied with how it's flying, it will be time for the tear down and conversion over to torque tube drive for the tail. While I have it apart, I'm thinking seriously about adding a governor. Next step will be getting it installed into the Sea King fuselage.
