How to balance your AXE CP or Other Micro Heli Tail Rotor

[gsikes99]

I have a AXEcpv3 and i'm looking for advice on the durability of the cnc bell-hiller main blade grips upgrade . I'm a beginner and i'm doing ok, but i've broken 2 1/2 sets of stock grips........would it increase my flying time instead of wating on parts to come in the mail........?

um my heli is vibrating so viloently that i cant fly it what are some other causes for vibrations?

[team222badbrad]

main blades are probably not balanced, out of tracking or are damaged.

[robprebil]

Sure makes a difference... My Axe would shake real bad at certain points - now it is smooooth! Thx!

Hi,the rotortail isn't work.no idea what can i do?loleter@hotmail.com

[RcAntax]

why is it so important to have it balanced?

[PorkerTinker]

Basically reduce any vibrations caused by the tail.

Thanks for the tip, very helpful.

[Gizmolv5]

another good way to get it balanced is get a hi grade sand paper and sand it till its balanced. but your way works just as well.

nice video

nice video. i have some problems with my heli, do you know how to reverse the collective pitch?

[team222badbrad]

I just looked at my controller you cant reverse the collective.

You probably got a rotor head that was setup backwards.

I'm guessing your blades are giving negative pitch instead of positive?

PM me on rchelimag (dot) com forums SN is team222badbrad

[JuanCatano]

Thanks, yes my blades are giving me negative pitch. so i have to work with the head, by reversing it. thanks a lot

[team222badbrad]

Sad to say, but thats what happens when you have everything made in (#%$%$%) and they want the slaves to make make make assemble assemble assemble.

[JuanCatano]

thanks a lot, yes i found the problem it was the head. thank you.

[VideoJunkei]

You could remove the main rotor drive gear, hold the heli on its side, and do the same to the main rotor too, correct?

[team222badbrad]

I don't see why not.

The hard part is figuring out how to hold the heli. Maybe you could clamp on the skids.

I second though maybe you could stick two hooks on the wall and place the skids on the hooks.

[team222badbrad]

you could, but you can't add material back.

Good Tip,It helps,Any tips on balancing my entire heli ?

[jpbeck01]

LOL-- sorry to hear that-- that'll cost you a couple of pennies.

[team222badbrad]

I could get by with only buying a new hub and blade grips.

I am going to order some spares anyways!

Come on over to the rchelimag forums! (google it)

[jpbeck01]

Great Tip-- I'll try it! Thanks for taking the time!

[team222badbrad]

Let me know how it goes. Just don't separate your whole rotor head from your main frame like I did today!  Snapped the plastic main hub in half after it smacked the ground!

[jpbeck01]

Worked like a charm-- it's a little more stable. Thanks again.

[helicub81]

why would you wnt to balance the tail rotor lol hehe

[team222badbrad]

SO it flies better.
