  • This also spares the servo a great deal of stress am I right?

    Did I also understand this correctly, you only put the chinese nut on one blade grip? Or do you put it on both?

  • Yes.

    The nuts go on both grips

  • great video to show the forces on the push rod and (servo) .but surely the extra weigth of the longer bolt and modified nut, add to the mass of the rotor grips, that helps to counter-act the dynamics of the blades wanting to go back to zero deg. pushing back on the push-rod. (is this what your results show. ps. would like to know what forces are on main rotor head.

  • Actualy the pitch arm of the blade grip is the biggest cause of tennis raquete effect. the blades are second. The weight(in this case just a custom nut on a stock screw) at 90 degrees to the blade and pitch arm is what cancels the tennis raquete effect. there is very little aerodynamic forces involved in the forces.

  • The Trex 600 chinese weights (nuts only) for stock plastic grips are $7.50 a set plus $2.00 shipping & handling for up to 2 sets in the US (US postal letter)

    I need:

    your name & shipping address

    email address to send you a paypal invoice that can be paid with credit, debit, or paypal.

    It will be week or two before they ship. I wont invoice until they are ready

    An aluminum nut would make it worse. The tuned weight nut is heavier than the stock steel nylock

  • That is amazing how the blade grips alone have 20oz of tennis racket force?! Wow. Add massive wind resistance and there's where the weights shine.

  • Where can you buy such a nut?

    Will using an aluminum nylock on one side have the same effect?
