Just got in my new 9303 with a 649 SPCM rx, got my askman mount, Casio Z-850 all hooked up, shutter servo tilt servo all working.

I had 315 crabon blades on the bird but took them off to use some 335 wood blades, I also took off the 13 tooth pinion and put on an 11 tooth to drop my head speed to a safe RPM for the woods.

My rex now wobbles and I cant figure out why... yet.

Should I go back to the 13 tooth and carbon 315? my vibrations were minimal.

Im just not sure where to go from here, do I continue to work at the 335/11 tooth and figure it out if I can, or head to the 315/13?

I also just ordered a set of 335 mavericks from heliporz to see if they will help me out at all.

My 450 AP ship runs a Z-Power 450TH motor with 11T and 335PRO woodies, and is very stable. What headspeed are you running? Are the blades perfectly balance weight AND cg wise? tracking spot on? Maybe you need to experiment with different tightness of the blades

That's all I can think of at the moment

I went back to the 315 fibers on the 11 tooth and it flys like a dream, I got 2 gig of pictures today on 4 packs I will try and post some later
