| GreetingsSodflyer, I had many similar experiences--I mean nightmares!
First off, the most I've gotten out of the Bird Seed packs is about 5 minutes, but I went with LiPoly 1200 E-Techs (2 cell) and I now get 19 minutes on the stock motor! I have also bought an Orion Elite Modified to play with sometime and also got a 9tooth to try on it... Hmm, we'll see..
The HB is very hard to get stable in flight I have found! I have tweaked expos, d/r, travel, trims, played with blade pitch (twisting them,) and the biggest problem I have right now is the tail! It always needs alot of rudder to counteract the force of the main rotor. I may be going separates real soon because I am about fed up with the Hummingboard. I'd LOVE a tail lock gyro on this baby!
I called Century and he told me to flatten out the throttle curve around mid stick or wherever it hovers on your radio and that didn't seem to help! Anyone have any good ideas? |
tweaked the blades, checked for tight gears, freshly charged pack, flybar paddles cant be any closer to alignment... etc... what gives? thought electrics were the way to go...might have to go back to glow power............Jeff.
But none looked like they would fit they were in the 75,00 ramge. Just dont know enough about them yet...sill everythig is the same as it was but it's a no go... 
could it be the pack? they are "the bird seed ones " I checked it when it was doing great and it read 9 vdc....thats when I had to throttle back to keep from hitting the roof..... Jeff.
