Flybar Weights, Head Dampening Shims And Fine-Tuning Cyclic Response; Channel 5 Knob - Blade SR Bedienungsanleitung

Flybar Weights, Head Dampening Shims and Fine-Tuning Cyclic Response

Your Blade SR is equipped with two sets of flybar weights that are secured in both the outermost position against the flybar
paddle and the innermost position, closest to the head/main shaft.
Note: The innermost collars are used to secure the paddle control frame and should not be moved.
In the outer position, the weights help provide added stability by increasing the amount of cyclic input required to overcome
the gyroscopic force of the flybar paddles. In general, flying with the weights in this position will still provide good cyclic
response, but with reduced sensitivity (especially when in hover), when compared to having them positioned closer to the
head/main shaft on the flybar. We suggest you make your first flights with the flybar weights in this position before making
any adjustments.
If, after the first few flights, you feel as though the cyclic response is too quick, we recommend moving the inner set of
weights out, next to the outer set. With both sets in the outer position, the cyclic response will become noticeably less
responsive.
If, after the first few flights, you would prefer to have even quicker and more aggressive cyclic response, you can reposition
the outer flybar weights so that they are closer in to the head/main shaft on the flybar. It is usually best to move the weights
in only a small distance at a time before making each subsequent test flight, until you find the position at which you prefer
the cyclic response most.
Note: It is important that the weight(s) on each side of the flybar be positioned at a distance equal from the head/main
shaft in order to prevent imbalance that could lead to vibration in the rotor head.
Dampening of the rotor head (main rotor blades) can also be adjusted in order to fine-tune the cyclic response of your model.
In general, stiffer dampening will result in quicker cyclic response. The dampening of your Blade SR has been set to provide
good stability right out of the box, and we suggest that you make your first flights with this amount of dampening before
making any changes.

If, after the first few flights, you would prefer to have quicker cyclic response, you can stiffen the rotor head dampening by
adding shims between the O-ring and step washer on each side of the center hub (see the "Exploded View" drawing and
parts listing for reference). Head dampening shims are available separately in packs of eight (EFLH1144); however, you
should install only one shim per side at a time before making each subsequent test flight, until you find the dampening at
which you most prefer the cyclic response (and stability).
Note: You must always install an equal number of shims on each side of the center hub.
Note: If you install too many shims, and the dampening becomes too stiff, the helicopter can wobble and shake in flight.
Take care when making testing flights after adding shims to prevent crashing the model as a result of a wobble or
shake.

Channel 5 Knob

The HP6DSM transmitter is equipped with an optional-use channel 5 knob (CH 5) located on the forward top right panel, next
to the dual rate switch.
This knob allows you to control function of the transmitter's fifth channel. And while this channel remains unused for flying the
Blade SR, it is available for use in controlling a variety of potential optional features including actuation of a servo, electronic
components or even for setting the gain of a gyro remotely from the transmitter. It allows fully proportional control of the fifth
channel from approximately 0–100% travel.
Though servo reversing is available for this channel, the knob can be operated in either direction for control. You can use
either the most clockwise (+) or most counterclockwise (-) position for 0 or 100% travel, and you will achieve approximately
50% travel with the knob in the middle position, pointing directly to the rear of the transmitter.
