Hello all,
Not posted for a while, as we have been so busy relocationg our workshop.
Anyway, been building the little 250 on the odd occasional evening, and its now just about done.
Tried a test flight this afternoon, full battery, align motor and 15t pinion. I have 11 deg of pitch either way, with 0 deg at the centre. Head speed seems realy fast, but the heli will only just lift off at full stick. I do have training gear on, but its still not all that heavy.
One curious thing, during the build, I notices the blades, and the flybar paddles have a 'B' marked in the plastic. You may assume this is for 'bottom' but this would be upside down compared to my 450's. Rotation of the head is clockwise.
Anyone have any ideas about my lack of lift??
Thanks in advance, Mark
