She got the shakes!

shay · 12-17-2011, 04:05 AM

My heli hes been suffering from shakes which seems to originate from a wiring issue. I'm trying to find the source but with no luck so far.
Have you got any tips regarding finding the heart of this problem?

Thanks, Shay.

Pictures? Exactly what do you mean, tail wag, head has a wobble, skids shaking. Started after crash rebuild?

It shakes like there is a glitch mainly at the swash

Please provide your headspeed, as well.

I believe the head speed doesn't matter(nor i know it) it happens in normal and in IU
the tail stays firm during all times

The reason I asked about headspeed is a condition called low headspeed wobble. It happens on mine in normal and idle 1. My headspeeds are 1750, 1950, 2050. At 2050, it's gone. It happens because damping is too hard at lower headspeeds and that allows direct translation when the lagging blade is providing no lift. So, if it's not that, I'm happy!

If you think its your wiring, pull your wiring and check it. Is the wobble intermittent or does it happen all the time?

It happens occasionally not even every flight

PS one wire o the regulator was loose so i replugged it i think it solved the problam all i have to do now is wait for Friday...

If that's the fix, you may want to put Goop or Shoe Goo over the connectors to hold them in place.

stupid question but could you check if the motor mount is really tight? if using the longer scows it might have a unit play and cause vibrations. In addition check the same on the bottom plate mount. May not be your issue but have seen it.

Intermitent. Sure could have bween a loose connection. Make sure the connectors fit tight.
I run a bead of E6000 across the top of the servo connecotors at well as around the wires where they go into the plugs for the RXs so vibes don't eventually cause problems.
