This bird is touchy fellow. Anyone can help with its setup? I am using a 9C on this with a MPI gyro.

The problem I am having is that as soon as it starts lifting off it either moves to the left or the right. And if I tried to correct it, I will have to keep the stick the right or left all the way before it starts moving back. What can I do about it?

Did you try moving your links to a different spot on your servo horns. Once your swash is centered you should be able to get more control out of it. You might also want to get the upgrade for the main shaft. You can get more throw if you take the plastic tube off the main shaft and install the collar that helihobby sells. Check your servo horns. I had to make mine less touchy and that is what I ended up having to do is move it closer to the center. Give that a shot of if you haven't already.

Hey ParkGuy
The website is looking good ! I enjoyed the review of the Lithium batteries and seeing what they did for you. Actually sent Dave over at LightFlight an email after reading it and am now placing an order to bring some life to my haummer. Looking forward to seeing more on your site soon

Parkguy,
You have an excellent site. I did notice that in one of your pictures, you have your antenna wound around the CF tail boom. Most of what I have read says this is not a good thing to do. How is it working out for you?

funny you ask

Yes I did have it wrapped around the mast at the time of most the pictures and videos, I unwrapped it when I installed the new battery and had to move gear around so now it just hangs down, Im looking at the best way to mount the ant so stay tunned as soon as I do I will post might just do what a did to most of my planes took a little peace of stiff paper and made a strip about 1 inch by 1/2 in cut a slot on both ends and wrapped the ant around int going end to end then covered it with one wrap of clear tape..

stay tunned for more..

thanks for posting..

I was getting a glitch on my HB. I tried an antenna bob and that didn't get rid of it. I'm using a dean's micro antenna now, mounted to the aft battery holder. It's glitch free now. Good 10 dollar inverstment.

Hey actionplus, maybe you could try lowering the pitch of both blades, in order to bump up the head speed a bit, if the head speed is low, the controls WILL be a bit sluggish, hope you fix it!
