Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / March 2005

Hi ya'll! I'm working on trimming out a Hummingbird VII heli and have it
staying almost perfectly stationary with the wheels just barely touching the
floor (it's the Airwolf heli), but it keeps tilting over to the right.
Holding it by the flybar I can see that the side to side CG is just a little
off with the heli hanging slightly lower on the right (all the electrical
connections ended up on the right side so i'm guessing they're throwing it
off a little).

What's the best way to deal with this problem? Is there a good way to add
weight to the left side of the heli to balance it out or should I keep
trying to trim it out with the radio trim tabs?

Also there seems to be a fairly large amount of tail rotor vibration... is
this normal? Main rotors seem very smooth as long as they're totally
straight across.

Thanks! 8-)
