woohoo just replaced my very first tail boom ever and it works!!!!!!!
I first plugged it in the opposite direction... When I powered it on and the tail rotor started moving the nano started turning Inserted the plug in the other direction and the nano is up in the air again. I'm very proud at this stage I do see a very little vibration at the tail end but it does not interfere with fly characteristics. The tail end just vibrates slightly. It is visible but I don't have to apply any trim what so ever to keep it nice in line so I don;t think it's a problem. Is this type of vibration normal? |

Why do people say the nano can take a beating... Or do have bad luck and crash bad....
After a crash I seem to fly normally but then after a few minutes some problems seem to occur... This time I get massive vibrations when I give about 50% throttle. If I go higher, the nano tips over to the left. I cannot seem to find a bend shaft or anything... I do notice that I can move the shaft up and down with the big white gear at the bottom. I can move it a few mm up or down. How can I easily check if the feathering shaft is bend? It's so small and it looks alright at first sight... The main shaft also seems fine... I do notice that one blade seems a little loose so I will tighten it and see if that fixes the prob. This hobby is an emotional rollercoaster From very happy for my first repair to sad because the next crash brakes something else... Oh well, that'll teach me to connect to my nano and understand the problems. edit: woohoo and we have another success It was indead the blade that was a little loose. |

I find the bird extremely tough. I do fly over grass....
I've been doing my first flips with this heli. Been in the grass a lot. Getting better as I'm starting to fly the 3 minutes now without crashing. Flip it over keep inverted flip back and so on. Blade should sell a version with grass stained blades....LOL I have not bent my feathering shaft, thought I did when I first got the heli since I was not used to one this responsive and had it all over the place. I think this is what I read... you can take the short black plastic tool that you get with the heli. Remove a blade and insert the tool into the blade grip. Spin the tool. If the shaft is bent the other blade grip will move up and down. |

You can tell something about the durability from the sheer number of people who have dubbed the thing "durable" though - because it's almost all of us. I crashed my Nano 5 or 6 times before I ever got it off the ground, because I was using a bad battery. That is pretty good - and quite a few of us do have multiple-crash data. |

The Nano was my first heli ever, too hard for me to fly so now I got a MCX2. But, I crashed that Nano at least 30-40 times mostly into the wall or onto cement. Only thing broken is one body mount, and cracked fuselage. I broke the swash plate fiddling around with it, not from a crash. One of the ball links broke off. |

On the other thread I sub, a guy gave up and sold his Nano I am not going to give it up. In fact I have some new parts coming for it. But, I am shelving it for a while as I learn on something a bit milder. I envision the day when I can say, "I need more power!". For now, it's back to flight school. I've been sent back about 4 grades!

Something else that doesn't get posted often: Learning to fly a heli is less than half the skill required Learning how to inspect and making the heli mechanically as good as it can be, is probably the more important skill to learn. I recently posted this in the Mini CP thread: Quote:

Hey everyone! So I'm fairly new in the whole hobby grade r/c heli field. I have had several cheapo coax helis, but a few weeks ago decided to step it up and get a nano cpx. I've had numerous successful flights (and crashes of course), but now I have something that I think the correct term is called the 'toilet bowl' effect. This all started about a week ago when I was trying to take off, and the feathering shaft nut somehow came loose, and one blade flew off. That was something I wouldn't have thought would happen... Anyway, I luckily found the nut and put it back on, and ever since then I have been having this issue. Basically when I move straight back and then let go of the stick, the heli either almost swings and rotates about itself (pivots about the top of the main shaft), or makes a large gradual loop (more of a U shape) to the right. At points it will move itself up to 4 feet over before it stops and hovers again. Moving forwards and strafing side to side I don't seem to notice this issue.
I haven't been able to find much info on this problem. So far I have replaced the main rotors, grips and feathering shaft, but it still does the same thing. My next thought is to replace the swash plate. Has anyone had any issues like this before? I don't remember it being like this since new, and it is a pain to do anything with precision as the heli has a mind of its own where it wants to go. I also recently have started with the vibration issue that people have reported recently, but that's the least of my issues right now. This toilet bowl needs to be flushed away! :P |
