  • Hi yea its easy whay to track blades but i have "little problem" my blads at low head speed to about 50% trottle is in track but when i push more trottle blade losing track... cann somebody help me tnx. btw. fathering bar is new

  • @Drota90 Check the main rotor head setting, spindle rod if its not bent and or not loose. then track again.

  • You mean you don't set up both blades when doing your head setup?

    If you do chances are you won't have a tracking issue in the first place.

  • @venquessa this method is to be used after you have setup all the rotor head stuff properly. now on the field if you still find blades are not tracking, this is the fastest method and it does work ;)

  • im thinking about getting the belt CP v2, Carbon edition, do you think its a good or bad buy ?

  • @ZminKs thats a nice heli to begin with for 6 channel 3D helis

see all

  • Great tip! thanks for that.

  • Good video. Great camera work, nicely done.

  • This method is not enough to ensure accurate tracking. It should always go hand in hand with your other tutorial with spooling up with colored tape. Pitch gauge technique first to get the approximate pitch then spool up with the colored tape to fine tune it

  • I found that this technique does not work. I level my swash and check blade pitch at L, M (zero pitch), and H stick, but the tracking is still sometimes off.

  • @Drota90 When you are in low speed,angle of blades is 0-1,but when you push trottle up,angle of blade goes up. If you loose tracking after trottle up,one of yours blades is making more aerodinamic force than the other. There is nothing you can do. You can change the blades and hope that they will be good.

  • Here's another tip for 'eyeing' the blade pitch. Rotate the blade 90* forward in the grip, towards normal rotation direction. Then you'll see it's much easier to 'eye' the pitch and even the difference between them.

  • @alishanmao coz i never flown a heli before, but i dont wanna buy a cheep one, and later put out more money on a better one.
