just finished my lepton :lol: went outside for maiden flight :lol: fired it up only to find a rather bad vibration, shake when at half throttle :( have checked all i can, and ballanced blades. does anyone know of any reason i would have a vibration. please help me :D
Grease the spindle - it's normally very stiff and cant centralize

Yep the spindle is VERY TIGHT and if not centered will cause vibration.
Also the FP blades. I got a bad pair myself and it would cause a vibe after doing some flips and such... I would take off all would be vibe free... Do a few flips etc and come back into the hover with a vibe.... MRC replaced them and all was fine.
A friend of mine also had the exact same problem.
Not saying this is your problem but if all else fails you might try another set of blades.

What is the best oil for the spindle. I used ATF oil and I think it dries up after a few month.
