It works !!!

All right, this is the update.

My friend did what brian did, use the shaft collar but put back a bit of the black tube to hold the swash plate in place. It didn't work --- things were more stable but the unwanted mixing is still here, but ...

Today at our local HB gathering, someone got an idea and swapped the main rotor blades with a heli that was known to be working well. Guess what, it worked !!! I'm a happy man today !!!

So tomorrow I'm off to get a new pair of blades and will try it myself

I have another question then. Looking back, the problem may be caused by bad tracking. Now, how do you think we can adjust tracking of HB? (other than bending the blades).

Hmmm!

I tried just the collar and a bit of "paper thickness" space as FlyBoy said and it worked. (mostly)
The unwanted mixing only shows up at extreme swash movements.

BJames: I will try the blade swap and see what happens!

I think the only way to adjust tracking is blade twisting.

Maybe someone will know.

Very interesting....another reason I need to get CF blades. Just not sure if I am going to get the CF FP blades for the hornet, or the stock CF blades for the HB.
