fisrt few flights.

I tryed hovering nose in today and it went well. i had about six tanks of fuel thru in total with normal hovering, before trying nose in , and i was suprised how well i did. i think the simulator really helps this. not so much the feel of the heli, but orientation and confidence on when u intput the sticks u have an idea on how the heli is going to react. i am addicted to this now. even though the training gear is still attached, i am pleased with my effort. one thing i have noticed is when i try and lean up the mix the heli gets a pretty nasty shake in the landing gear. i have the needle turned out 2 full turns,as soon as i try and make it a little leaner the shake appears. its a os 32 non ring in a shuttle. . . any suggestions would be helpful.i noticed that the heli overall has a few shakes , mainly in the tail and landing gear. i am in the process of buying a high point balancer and good blade balancer, like the koll pro balancer , anyways happy flying to everyone.

hey james

glad to hear all is well keep up the good work
as for the engine it's still not broken in yet ,so just keep running it like this for a will.if if doesnt stall and you have enough power
+not leaning out on you then i think everything is a-o.k
when the training gear comes off you should loose some vibration annyways these do cause some vib((((tion.

thanks Steff,
Yeah i heard that the training gear can magnify vibrations in the heli. I noticed that the gear vibrates kind of in a circular pattern also but only at low revs when i have cut the engine. , . i have no idea, what that is, anyways, i love these things , working on them and trying to iron out any bugs just makes them all the more challenging, it would be boring if it was easy. hell i love just cleaning mine!!

gotta run,
happy flying Steff,
