Blade 400 rudder problem

Can anyone help me please? I have a problem with my Blade 400. The rudder seems to work when it feels like it. I have tried various things like powering off and altering trim, and checking gyro etc, but nothing seems to work. One minute it will work fine, and the next it goes on strike and refuses. Is there anything mor I can try to figure out what/where the problem is?

Ok,,, not quite sorted!!!,,, I still seem to have no power in the right rudder,, the arm seems to be travelling all the way???? so i think this rules out the gyro??!?!?

[FredFerretfromWolves]

Im confused!!! Why is it saying that 'YoWannaBeMe's comments have been removed by me????

[FredFerretfromWolves]

SORTED!!! (I Think) Ill let you all know when Ive got more new blades! lol,,, The previous crash I had included needing a new tail boom,,, nad because it was set to a slightly diff length,,, i forgot to adjust the bar going from the tail servo to the tail,, so it was shoving it tooo far left and hardly any right!!! Dont know why it seemed to be intermittent tho,,, as I said,, Ill let you know when I got some MORE new blades!!! lol

I would give that complete set back to the dealer in the case that it is a new helicopter. Or did you have any crashes?

[FredFerretfromWolves]

Nah,, its not new,, its crashed a good few times. But I dont think this was the result of a crash.  (Its caused a couple lol) I need to get a new main and feathering and try with the gyro unplugged to see if the gyro is playing any part.

another very very wild out there idea lol. is screw in the bottom tale gear on main shaft still there? that let the whole thing slip but doubt it really even spin and or hover with out it but just another idea. if it does spin its not spinning fast enough to give full power to tale if its slipping when you go to rotate left right . im delete this after u answer this, this is an out there idea..... lol

1st time it did it my friend tightened it up (Which seemed to work ), but to be honest, I havent checked it since,,, Again,,, Let you know tomorrow!!

Cheers for the help!!!

I got one of these and the fun factor is worth every penny. Nice vid!

have you cheacked the tail servo cogs

[lockonwmpjr]

I would say you need to read how to setup the gyro correctly. Then see how it works after. Do a search on the Blade 400 Bible, has a lot of info.

ok here is what you do.

1. plug the tail servo into the rudder channel on the recivier (so the gyro isnt plugged in, it doesnt matter about the yellow wire)

2. make sure there are no subtrims or normal trims on the transmitter and makesure that thravel ajust is 100% both ways

3. look at the servo, is the horn smack on 90° if yes, look at the tail pitch slider, is it also 90°

if your heli has all this checked, ur servo could be nakerd, mien stoped working in mid flight, good luck :)
