BLADE Msr TUNE UP COMMON PROBLEMS AND HOW TO FIX GUIDE

[Gta2O13]

I'd say tightin the blades a bit more. Just enough they don't flIop.. If they are to lose the blades will flutter and be off track.. If you tighten then to much it will just toilet bowl and crash..

[Tsinepanos]

I bought one ...you said that you will change the motor on the back after a crash ...why?

[ferrabras]

nice general maintenance course!

Excellent video -- I took my brother's MSR when he 'upgraded' to an MSR X. Unfortunately, I couldn't fly it very well. I found this video and went through the entire thing and checked everything mentioned. I found the main rotor wasn't tight and the tail rotor was bent. I fixed those issues. There were a few other small adjustments from the video as well. I wish I could say I fixed everything, but I must have missed something. I'm getting a counter-clockwise spin when I try to fly it.

Thank you for this.I learned a lot. peace bro

[robbie2737]

Thanks for sharing this info..Nice Video! Is it possible for you to make a vid on the correct way to Trim this Heli....I totally understand the concept of Trim with the MSR....however,for some damn reason this MSR I can't seem to ever get it correct..then when I finally get it setup nice,seems like the next time I switch to a fully charged battery,the trim wasn't where I had it set Errr!! frustrating!

[sbs9026]

Why did you have two battery leads on your MSR ?

[TheSlofly]

@sbs9026 Sometimes I run 2 Hyperion 160mah batteries for indoor cruising. I use the sukhoi xp motor and it's a bit powerful for indoors, the extra lipo weight tones it down, makes it more stable and I get flight times around 12 minutes.

[whatsdare]

Great video, it's my new maint schedule.

[axelrod360]

Wow, great video. My tail rotor was making the buzzing sound but I didn't think it was from being bent. Replacing it like you said helped.

[msbcrr]

Great info. but a little out of focus, hard to see exactly what your doing.

[TheSlofly]

@msbcrr Sorry about the focus problem, it's a flip cam with no focus button. I hate the camera, my wife just had to have it though LOL!

[bshurn]

Thanks a lot. I spent hours trying to figure out why my msr was rolling hard left, turns out there was play in my main gear. Thanks again.

[1960AirDale]

THANK YOU, I followed your tips and they worked and I am very greatful that you posted all this usefull information. My lil bumble bee is flying great again. Have a great day and thanks for posting.

Cheers!

[sanuksize45]

thanks for the video . it helps me alot. newbie here. very thorough and precise. clear. good job.

[etchr]

there should be a link to this on the Blade site.

thanks for the informative video.

This video is life saving to say the least!

[ilan354]

How hard is it to install the sukhoi motor? Is it really worth it?

[TheSlofly]

@ilan354 The sukhoi xp motor adds around 10 grams of thrust, about the same as most brushless conversions which are more costly and complex. The drawback is about 30-60 seconds less flight time so I recommend Hyperion or Thunder Power lipos for this motor. The gear mesh is little tight at first. Take some fine sandpaper and run it between the main gear teeth and use a file to reduce the pinion gear diameter while the motor is running. Run the motor for a few mins and the gear mesh shoud be fine.

[KMac1972]

I just made the move from coax to the mSR and naturally have soft-crashed it a few dozen times. My question is:

Is it normal for the main motor to be driven upward in a crash?  It seems like every crash moves the main and pushes the brass drive gear up and away from the main gear so they are no longer meshing-up. Is this normal?

[Alockbee]

Thanks so much for your insight! You have already helped me out w/ my MSR. I bookmarked this video which I never do w/ any YouTube videos.

[siedgey]

Thank you for this video! Very useful. You say at around 1:00 that there should be no play in the main gear. However, I have to have a LOT of play in mine otherwise my swash gets stuck right down, forcing the heli to fly backwards. Any idea why this might be? If I have it loose, the lift from the blades lifts up the main shaft and the swash is lined up nicely. Any help is much appreciated!

[TheSlofly]

@siedgey The swash plate should float freely on the main shaft, if it is getting stuck for any reason you will have a problem, like the flying backwards thing. You can either oil the shaft around the swash and hopefully that frees it up or you can disassemble the shaft and use fine sand paper to make the main shaft smoother. You should have no play in the main gear up or down, left or right.

[tanders82]

Excellent video ! Saved to my favourites !

[princesscara18]

that is normal it sits forward by around 5 degrees so the heli sits level in flight

[wrmiller74]

I notice on my MSR the main shaft sits at an angle leaning to the right if looking from behind the heli. Is that normal? I just purchased it today so I want to return ASAP it if this isn't normal. Thanks!

Thanks for all of the tips!

[k2bumper]

@wrmiller74 This is normal. It is to offset the torque of the tail rotor.

Going to be very helpful.

[BUGGER9946]

Very good Slofly. I will be checking some of those things asap.

Flew My MSR in a gym today, & after a pretty mild crash it wasn`t

acting rite. You may have led Me in the rite direction.
