Super Mod & DEAL KING!
My old ds-35 had gotten twitchy after too many crashes and I changed it out to a new one yesterday. Doing the change I was thinking about how after I went to Hp-08 my tail hold has been non consistent. The bird doesn't like wind anymore. It would freak out if I. Fly in 15 mph winds ... Would hover fun but I wouldn't have a lot of tail authority and going backwards flight or even unloading the head for a while would cause the tail to give in about 180 degrees. I wasn't confident with it.
Then it struck me. May be I was wrong installing the push rod on the servo horn on the inner hole. I had throw equal to stock and all at that, but it obviously wanst enough.
I decided to put the push rod on the outermost hole on the ds-35, and that caused the push rod to stress just a little bit... But!!! I have massive throw right and left. I mean double what i had. For added tail authority when flying fast, i upped the tail end points to 120-120... That gives me a great throw.
Went flying.. Obviously, the throw change made the gyro crazy cause it was too sensitive now.. Dropped the gain three points down from default , abd man!! 15mph winds yesterday, and ghusts.... And I did some real fast forward and backwards flight and WOW!! What a difference. !! Love it. Have confidence in it again.
It makes sense as the rpm and torque went higher with the Hp-08 I needed more tail throw to Counter the torque in windy or even wind vane conditions (backwards flying) ..
I am pretty happy with the outcome.. Flees three batteries.. And noticed that I didn't crash as much. Lol I guess tail hold helped me a lot... Last battery I crashed once as I was too close to ground when a ghust hit it and I was at the end of battery so didn't have enough punch to pull out .
Here is a pic.
See the old hole I had used on the push rod ... The inner one compared to where I am right now
And you see a little tension in that wire. With that even, the movement is very smooth.
I am not sure if this was supposed to be where is Shiuld have been or not.. But sure I am gonna keep this setting. It is working!
Fly safe!!
have fun!
