Mcp x TME's

[Cnhoward]

Hey Gang,

Got my Mcpx a week ago. Been flying it regularly, and it's my second CP. I have been having a problem with what seems to be similar to what the msr folk call tickle me elmos or TME. A video of the msr TME can be found here: [ame]http://www.vimeo.com/7735138[/ame]

The difference is that the mcpx doesn't vibrate all of the time. Its only a problem during 80%+/- pitch.

Any ideas?

lube your feathering shaft (dampers) and check your head-speed.

Mine has done this a few times also.

Im at 3/4 stick. 100% throttle. It does 3d great. How can I adjust my headspeed without changing the stock pinion?

Try loosening your blades as much as you can.

Most likely bogging due to excess pitch. Low headspeed will certainly cause the shakes.

Mine had the same wobble/shake. Turned out my feathering shaft was bent from the git go. Replaced it and now it flys very stable.
