FBL Gyro ikon/brain tic toc fast tail wag

[danhampson]

I took the protos to the field today to try out my new batteries after my first pack (old one) I put the new, lighter pack on and started with a few fast curcuits, flips, rolls, loops and hard pitch pumps (changing from pos to neg and back). All was looking good and feeling better than ever.

I thought that I would try some tic toc's and am getting a fast tail wag after the bounce, I've not had this problem before but I was flying the bird harder than ever.

I'm thinking that it is maybe pitch snd/or cyclic pre comp gain issue and would like your thoughts on the subject.

Try lowering your tail gain 3-5% and see what happens.

Yeah, agreed, bump your tail gain down a bit and see if it goes away. Next, if you're running a governor, maybe try lowering that gain a bit (can have wagging effects on the tail). IF those both do nothing and feel otherwise locked in, then look into pre-comp settings. First pitch/collective pre-comp and then cyclic (unless you actually know how to do a good tic toc, light on the collective use, in which case cyclic may be the one to start with ).

Lol my tic tocs are not very good, and with the tail the way it is I can tic but there no chance of a toc.

The weather is looking pretty good for a after work flight so I'll lower the gain a bit and see what happens and report back. I'm glad I install Bluetooth on it now.

sorted the tail wag out dropped the p gain 3 points. tails was holding really well and then i put her in. parts are ordered and should be with me tomorrow time for some wrenching again.

Dammit!!! Always happens just after you get her flying properly

 

[danhampson]

its not too bad lee, ive been meaning to re-stretch her for a while and this was the perfect excuse. i just cant decide which canopy to get, classic orange, black and white or the red carbon scheme.
