rc helicopters need help?
i bought a new rc helicopter.
when i move the left stick forward, for the rotor to spin, the tail shakes even when the copter is flying it just stops when the rotor is at rest.
what should i do?
It sounds like the rotor is out of balance. It might be that one blade is bent a little or heavier than another. If one looks bent just tweak it carefully back in to place. If that’s not the case they make a balancing tool for props & wheels. You can probably use something around the house to spin it on or just on the heli. The heavier blade will come to rest at the bottom when it slows to a stop so you’ll have to add weight to the other blades. It’s a trial & error sort of thing to get it balanced but it might solve the problem. The way I’ve done it on rc car wheels was to use lead tape they use on golf clubs.
