video of my intermittent tail wobble

[dodgeboy]

hey guys, here is a video of a issue im having. go to 2:47-2:50 and 3:47-3:50 time frame.
im very sorry about the video, all i had was my 10 year old daughter. the 2 time frames i listed are the best spot to see what im dealing with. ive had nothing but tail issue with this heli, but i have got 95% of them fixed.
i dont know if this is normal. anyone have a video of their tail while hovering for me to compair?
its not a twitch or a wag. its more like a wobble or could be called a oscillation. i have flat thottle curves set in my dx6i.. normal is 85% and IU is 95% the issue is in both modes. one thing i DO NOT notice is a speed change when i flip into IU. i know its only a 10% change, im not sure if this is something i would hear ??

well here is the vid, i really hope your able to see it. i might have to get someone else to film it

rock solid to me.

that sucks man, cause its there. the 2 time frames i listed is the best my daughter was able to catch it. i need a tripod to hover in front of. no one here seems to be able to keep still enough.
im not helping any

[dodgeboy]

are you guys able to here the motor speed up when switching into IU ? my normal is a flat 85% and my IU is 95, you think thats to small (10%) to hear ? cause i never hear the motor speed increase.
im just trying to see if its headpseed related.

i dont notice any difference from normal to iu.

Make sure you set the end points with a linear curve THEN set throttle curves. I had the same issue until I did that. Then it makes a difference.

[dodgeboy]

yeah i did all of that.

I seen the ever so slight tail wag at 3:47, man that is very minor. Is it more exaggerated in FFF?

Was the wind blowing at all? When I see something that slight I tend to write it off to dealing with a wind gust or something.

+1 also seen @ 3:47
It's a very slight wag I also see when in a hover.
It's not always there just sometimes you see it, correct?

YES !! FINALLY !!
i dont have any issue with it during any flight, i just see it during hovering.
helidude, your right, its not always there. sometimes its there and sometimes its not.
im still kinda new to all of this. i just hear people say my tail is rock solid so i expected mine to be, well, solid.
Am i being to picky ? there was a slight breeze while doing the video.
if this is normal then it would relieve my mind..

thanks for your effort guys !

Fly it man, you are good to go Let us know what you think after you beat on it a bit.

[dodgeboy]

thanks guys for all your help. nothing worse then chasing your tail around for nothing.

well, now time to go and enjoy it

You should.
To be honest, I do think it's not 100% perfect.
But it's 99.9%, good enough for me not to worry about.

[TunaBlue]

Man... I'd be stoked to have that heli, looks like it flies fine to me. Just enjoy it and beat the air into submission!

I used to get a little bit of that, but I think it's gone now. Actually, I'm not sure, I just don't sit still in one spot long enough to notice it anymore.

Haha! For me it hurts to hover the bird, it's just you have kick it's ass, it's screaming for it.
