Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / July 2003Is it actually possible to stop a Nexus from wobbling?
Answer: NO Well it is in my case anyway :-(. Had mine for a while, learnt to hover with it but it has always had a bit of a wobble. Go through all the usual things balancing, still wobbled. Then I found some slight play in the top bearing, cousin says "get the Zeal pitch rod guide it's not that expensive, c. £12 and it will sort that" so I did. Finished rebuilding it today, new starter shaft, clutch and main shaft as well(mainly because I had the bits available), it still wobbles :-(. I know the general opinion here is dump it but I use it as a Sim no PC available here :-). Is there anything I can do without spending a fortune(I'd rather put the money into my Raptor/Eco 8) that may be a quick fix? I have the build manual but it is really vague especially as a lot of the bits appear to be pre assembled and I may not be putting them back together right as there are no good guides in there!!!

They all have it. The most certainly do NOT "all have it". If it's wobbling, it's usually a builders problem, not a kit problem too. > I just lived with it. Well, unitl today anyway... You gave up on it and binned it?

I caught that one later. Some posts seem to leap onto my server while others take hours. Shame it's dead though, coz I've taught a lot of people to fly using their Nexii and they fly very well as a rule. Not the most wear resistant machines out there, but when kits were on offer in my neck of the woods for 60 quid, a few found there way to where I fly accompanied by newbies and they lasted well enough to get the owners flying in a respectable manner.

It has got me flying but the sound of it straining and grinding away in aeros puts me off, so I don't do them now. I shall resume normal training with the R50...I just ued the Nexus for playing. Which is why it crashed. The good news is that a mate wants to have the nexy to teach him to fly rotary tool, so the old girl will be rebuilt and flown again. Alls well that ends well D Have you tried a higher head speed? My Rap50 wobbles like a drunken weeble at anything less than 1500 on the head.

Flew mine for three years and had a wobble only when the rotor head speed was too low. It was used daily for training students at our training center so accumulated several hundred hours on two machine. No wobble on either one. > Answer: NO > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > appear to be pre assembled and I may not be putting them back together > right as there are no good guides in there!!! |
