I broke my original swash and ecided to upgrade the the RKH alum swash and rotor hub o go with the RKH blade gribs I had on my MSRx. But now the bird starts to shake violently as soon as I leave the ground

. Any idea what needs adjusting

Thanks,

Have you installed o-rings on the swash balls and blade grips? I would start there if you havnt. That seemed to cure my problem. If that doesnt work, check and make sure the main gear is pushed all the way up. Lastly, check the blade grips and make sure the screws securing the blades are pretty tight. Not too much but just enough as to the blades will move with a slight shake. Hope this helps

Don't laugh too hard but I took all the o rings off and the shakes went away

Not really, I have read several posts on this. Some have the issue with o-rings on, others have the issue with no o-rings on. Then you have those that need to try o-rings in certain positions. IE a couple on the grips only, or a couple on the swash only etc.

Since my RKH swash I find that on the grips only works best for me.

The rings are necessary only if the links have too much play (like on the original blade grips).

If the swash is tilted and you can barely rotate the main rotor (because of too much friction from the o-rings) it's better without them.
