JR VENTURE 50 Problem

[William Jantjes]

Hi there all,

Anyone have some advice on a brand new Venture that keeps losing it blade
tracking.Almost everyflight it is different.Has anyone had a new Venture 50
and had similar problems.

losing the tracking would indicate that the blade cord CG is out. Are they
wooden blades that come with the kit?

Thanks for the response, it seems to loose it tracking evry flight.
Thursday I set the tracking perfect in a hover, today it was out 1cm since
this morning I have reset the tracking 5 times. This is a BrandNEW JR
Venture50. Also the push rods to the levelers seem to be rubbing against the
pitch mechanism.
Quite unusual for a new heli.

I haven't seen the venture yet, so I don't know to much about it but if you
measure the two links that go from the swashplate to the blade grips ( most
likely connected by a mixing arm ) you will find that they are different
lengths. Purchase a set of other market blades like NHP, SAB, TG etc.

Hi,

I know you say the heli is new, but make sure that the feathering
spindle is not bent.. This usually causes inconsistent tracking
problems.

Removed perfectly balanced JR Blades and replaced with TT Blades. Instant
tracking was OK.

Seems something funny with the blades.

How do you balance your blades.
