DYNAMIC HELI STABILIZERS & GYRO Failure!
Dynamic Stabilizers (simply put) direct the down flow of the air from the main rotor in such a way as to make the heli fly faster in forward or reverse flight, inverted or not. They really smooth out the flying and even make it go quite a bit faster in forward flight. I was skeptical at first, but Xraptor10 has a patent pending on these stabilizers for RC helicopters. ( http://www.youtube.com/xraptor10 ) It could change the entire heli scene, as I see it. Second, I had an in-flight GYRO failure. One side was not returning fast enough, so I completely eliminated the gyro and plugged the Tail rotor servo directly into the receiver to check it to make sure the servo wasnt the problem. In fact, it is a failed gyro. But still wanting to take advantage of the low winds (8-12 MPH) today, I flew it without the gyro. I wonder how I ever did it with out it in the pioneering days, cause the tail is so much more sensitive. I reduced the tail rotor throw, and was able to fly the dynamic stabilizers anyway for a second flight. I am impressed. Thanks Xraptor 10. Im sure this is a winner. I put my approval stamp on it.
