Heliguy Forum - RC heli forum

Hey guys,

Got myself a new 4#3a, recommended by a friend and my first single rotor heli. Beautiful little heli and I am surprised by how easy I am picking up flying it, but I do have a problem that I am hoping you guys might help me diagnose and fix.

From new the heli has had quite a nasty up and down tail wobble. It seems to come and go during flight and does seem to be affected by the positioning of the flybar paddles a little but I get the feeling the flybar paddles are not the problem.

Apart from making sure everything is fitted and tight enough, the only other thing I have done is use a little super glue to fix the swash to the shaft. fixing the swash to the shaft didn't fix or seem to affect the wobble any.

One thing worth mentioning that may or may not help with diagnosis is that when I broke the carbon flybar and replaced it with a steal one for the 4#3b it has seemed to make the problem worse.

I am sure this can be fixed. My friend has the 4#3, 4#3a and 4#3b and I don't think he has this problem with any of his.

I might try taking a vid of it in flight so that you can all see the wobble happening.

In the meantime, any feedback, suggestions etc will be much appreciated.
