**Glitches or Setup??**

[jahatton]

I found something rather interesting about radio glitches and setup. If your heli has unbalanced blades or grass build-up on the tail rotor blades or having pitch differences on the mains can and do cause glitches which will then be blamed on the radio.
Over this past year I flew 82 flights so far and encountered a lot of glitches. I thought the new radio's are better than that I thought.... Every time it was related to setup. A slightly bent mast caused glitches, feathering shaft being bent makes for Very Interesting hovers.. Gyro placement now here I spent 8 months with wagging wo's.
The old addage in Aviation is "When in dought Throw it out" It works!
Helicopters are great! but when not perfect all hell breaks loose. When setup correctly it purr's like a kitten and fly's beautifly
