Hurricane 200 pitching up in FFF

[badbill]

Finally got my H200 to the field yesterday for a couple of flights. It REALLY looks promising- The tail is rock solid with the RC-tek gyro and digital tail servo. The only problem is that it pitches up in FFF, much like a fixed pitch heli. It has plenty of headspeed, is it just doing this because I'm using the plastic blades? Where can I get some carbon blades for it?

Thanks in advance!

Carbon blades are not available for the Gaui 200, but you can get "woodies" - probably where you bought you little heli.

Also make sure your flybar paddles are level.

What are your throttle and pitch curves?

What are your throttle and pitch curves?

-12 to +12 , 0-60-80-90-100 in norm, 100 all the way across in Idle up.

The paddles are level, I am going to try the woodies as soon as the wind allows.

badbill,

I have noticed the Gaui 200 that I have is more pitch sensitive than other heli's I have flown, especially with wind. It is even more so if it is not balanced a tad nose heavy. Originally mine was neutral to possibly tail heavy depending on how the battery was put in and it was very "pitch sensitive". It is better being a little nose heavy.

some people have added a small amount of weight in the nose of the canopy.

My C of G is spot on the main shaft, with no added weight. it flies very well, with no pitching up tendencies
