Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / March 2005Concept 60 tail wagging
To cut a long story short I have owned a Kyosho Concept 60 for ni on 15 yrs and never flown it till now. I have spoken many years ago to Beav about this :-) The problem is now I have learnt to hover using the honey bee 2, the tail on the concept wags in the wind. When it calm and hovering alls fine I'm using a csm 360 gyro every thing else is standard I presume the wag is due to play between the servo to the tail area, is there a fix or kit to take out the play ? i.e. is it worth thinking about refitting the servo straight to the boom at the rear etc. Regards Bob > To cut a long story short I have owned a Kyosho Concept 60 for ni on 15 > yrs and never flown it till now.

Gyro too sensitive, or gyro vibrating, if I recall correctly. J > To cut a long story short I have owned a Kyosho Concept 60 for ni on 15 > yrs and never flown it till now.

The "wire in the tube" which is the tail rotor pushrod system is pants and it needs ditching in favour of something that doesn't act as a magnet for oil, dust and crap. Fit a complete boom mounted servo kit (about 30 dollars or so) which inclused the mounting plate for the servo and a carbon pushrod. Make sure there's NO friction in any part of the system too. That includes the tail pitch slider, the blade grip balls and the blade grip feathering plane. Oh yeah, and the ball links at both ends of the pushrod.
