Left roll tendency during hover.
Good morning all. I've recently gotten back into flying my helicopters as of late and just started messing around with my mSR. It needed new servo control rods and a set of landing skids which have since been replaced. It flies amazingly well and I was quite surprised I still remember how to keep it from crashing into everything.
The issue I am having is that during an OGE hover, the helicopter likes to roll to the left pretty hard without stick input. I can trim it out, but I have to almost max out my trim to compensate for it. I'd like some advice/feedback on the following ideas I plan to try to fix this issue, and if there is anything else I should look into. I'm stuck at work now so I won't be able to try them out till later: 1. Compensate the roll by manually lengthening or shortening the servo control rods. 2. Make sure the swash is level utilizing the leveling tool. 3. Check for any play in the pitch/flybar/cyclic control system. 4. Verify my TX settings. Note: I have a DX6i that has a custom setup in it for the mSR, but I loaded that about 2 years ago, so I won't even lie and say that I remember what the settings are. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. |

Before trying a mechanical fix, try binding to an entirely new model in you TX...
I believe you can fly the mSR on a stock setup with no actual changes to the default settings...just bind it to a new memory model and try to fly it Also make sure the swash plate pin has not jumped out of the guide |

Overall, I thank everyone for their help. Now it's time to get my mCPX back up and running. She's got a nasty problem with the main motor cutting in and out which I suspect is an control board issue.... |
