Problem wobble please help

[jbock24]

My machine looks like I have one carbon and one wood main, I have checked without blades seems fine

Please help me out Im off work till 4:oo thanks

Have you done your blade tracking? Thats the first thing to get right before looking for other causes.

what dampers did you use, whats your headspeed, and what blades are u using;

[jbock24]

I don't know head speed yet other than slow Im just breaking in OS50, tracking looks great
from what I can see at lower speeds.Im using Maverik 600 carbons.

blade grip bolts too tight maybe ?:dontknow

[ClayK]

Did you get it up into a hover yet?

[jbock24]

No hover yet tomorrow morning maybe, For some reason Im afraid to push it although I know it will probibly straighten out and be fine at higher rpm. Yea I'll losen the grips slightly I had the same mistake at the 600 elec. version. Thanks talk to you tomorrow.

[jbock24]

PS I like your picture... USN nice

[ClayK]

Check your feathering spindle for tightness. Check grip tightness. I am assuming your blades are balanced....

Let it spin up, it should straighten itself out. Mine always wobble until the headspeed gets up to straighten and balance it out.

[jbock24]

Its going to be 40 here today, going outside to wind her out. I'll let you know what happens

[jbock24]

Yea it above 40 degrees and the wind is above 45mph, ran up in garage, head grips were to tight, needle is at 1 turn 3 clicks, no wobble after I made myself get over it an increase
rpm. Straightens out perfectly just like the elec. version. Gotta learn to quit being like a little girl(no offense to little girls intended).
Thanks you guys for all the help. John

I can't talk. I put my tail blades on backwards.

Then I spent ages trying to figure out how the gyro had reversed itself. DOH!

[jbock24]

backward mains been there, done that one.
