Howdy all!
In a few articals I have read reciently
they gave refrence to the stick in Nutural position, I asume that means no upward pitch to the rotor and no downward pitch to the rotor... but i have a feeling that it has no refrence to the Rotor at all just the position of the stick itself....
like half way between up and down on the stick... or the half way point between the two stops....
( which I have found recently is the case)
...
But here is the problem...
when doing a haing test the stick on my gyro alwayse goes full foward...
simply because the way the rotor head/pivot is positioned... it can't be any other way... it can't be in a netural position....
Maybe the control rods are out of adjustment or something and I'm missing something entirely ! I dunno
but I cannot see anyway for the Control stick to be in a Netural position when doing a haing test...
All the weight of the craft is suspended infront of the pivot point
on the head ... so it will want to tilt the rotor back.... how can you get a netural position like that ????
.... I'm definately confuzzelated !
thanks !
