Trex F.A.Q
******If you have a problem understanding what you are reading because all these new words confuse you, or a subject is difficult to grasp, skip the FAQ and go directly to Finless videos here at HeliFreak you will not be disappointed. I know when I started I had no idea what any of this gibberish meant and the Finless (Bob White) videos helped me a great deal even with my Walkera 35 and Shogun.*******
Finless Videos Very good read for beginners Here Thanks Awamori My blades will not track
Tail boom adjustment.
Tail spins uncontrollably
Motor Bogs
Rex wobbles on startup and at low head speed but is smooth on lift off
Apex Packs Great deal? You decide
Blue or white Gears
Note from Gary JP4 as a beginner you should not have to worry about your idle up curves right away just make sure you normal hover curves are set correct so you -2 -3 on low 0 at mid and 100 at full. Thanks Gary Why do people mount their gyros under the boom?
Tail Belt Tension: How tight?
To adjust the tail boom tension, loosen the screws in the tail block. Grasp the boom firmly and pull backwards (towards the tail). Make sure your other hand is grabbing on a solid piece of the frame. If the tail boom does not move, try loosening the two screws securing the horizontal fin to the tail boom bracket as well. Once the tension is correct, tighten all the screws (remember to reapply loctite). How to keep the tail belt from loosening:
What does Heading hold mean?
Setup info about GY401 delay
How to calculate your head speed
How to check your Cyclic pitch(s)
Lubes, Maintenance, misc…
Head Speeds; where do you want to be?
What is idle up/sports mode/..... what does it do and how?
Tracking vibrations:
This should be pretty simple to follow and will organize data significantly FAQ original Post will be an editable post and all good confirmed information from the following discussion will be rendered into the top post. This information should be debated and confirmed by other members. Simple Form Member question: Member’s answers numerically listed according to relevance Optional links (Finless video, maybe vendor link, or copyrighted site outside the freak) Anyone wishing to contribute to the FAQ forum or stickies can PM me with your question(s), question(s) and answers, or suggestions. I will also look to set guidelines when asking a question in the forum, like: My motor bogs down what am I doing wrong? What we need to know is: Motor ESC Pinion Blade type and size Battery size, type, manufacturer Any other pertinent information Ed Last edited by Cryofix; 09-03-2007 at 09:55 PM.. |

Cryofix,
I am new, and searched the site for many answers. A summary is a great idea! I know it is a work in progress, i saw something that might help beginners like me. On blade tracking: a slight bend in the feathering shaft can cause the blades to be off no matter how much adjustment is done...right? I had a landing where a a rotor blade hit ground... checked out the heli and blades ,no visible damage, but i noticed, a battery later, blades would not track no matter how much adjustment. It would track at 0 degrees, then be off at ~6 degrees, and vice versa. It drove me nuts until i decided to dig in the spare parts bag and try replacing the feathering shaft. Problem solved. I know there are probably many resons for blade tracking problems, but on a beginner level, with some rough landings, is this a common thing? Thanks again, Jimmy Gunz. |

Really good stuff, looks like this is going to be good. Thanks for spending the time.
One suggestion. I think since this part is directed at new folks you should clarify that the +or- 10 or 11 deg pitch is in idle up or stunt mode and where you suggest limiting to -2 or -3 deg is in normal mode. I assume you are suggesting beginners fly in normal mode with those settings. |

Someone linked this before and I think it would be very good for noobs who might be afraid to ask. I picked up some text book answers when I read it the first time. :wink:

Cryofix,
Maybe add these to the FAQ? My blades will not track Another thing to consider that affects tracking is the screws that mount the flybar seesaw to the rotor housing- Loktite and retighten. This has been the answer in several cases (happens to me after crashes). Tail boom adjustment. Make absolutlely sure the vertical tail is truly vertical- prevents belt shredding.

The 401 answer makes no sense. You have to specify that you are talking about the 9650 servo otherwise lots of newbies will burn out their servos by setting the ds switch to on with an analog servo.

General Maintence section might be usefull. What to oil and with that type of oil. Also, make sure all screws are tight in head and tail. They will come off in flight! Links to different sites with tips on learning to fly.

Just grab blades by the end(tips) and pull. this will get it as close to even as posible. should spool up fine from here as long as you have the blades balanced |

Good tip sratzo, you can also check for slop in the grips this way.
