Okay, I'm posting for a friend who is having trouble registering, so bear with me:
Hey guys,
I very recently got a Blade 450 3D and have been slowly learning to fly it. Unfortunately, about a week into it, I had a minor crash. I managed to tip the heli over and hit the blades against the ground(http://youtu.be/AQ4CSPNStho).
After the crash, I had a bent flybar (which I bent back) and some of the plastic coating (or is it paint?) on the wooden blades bubbled a bit and is cracked in one spot. The crack seems to be getting a little worse as time goes on.
As I've been doing hovering exercises, once in a while I notice that my training gear is vibrating quite a bit, indicating vibrations in the heli itself. I'm not sure if I would notice the vibrations if I didn't have the training gear attached, which sort of makes me think it's not so bad. However, I definitely notice the heli's nose drifting which makes me suspect that it's vibrating too much and throwing the gyro off. Is there a better way to really tell if the heli is vibrating too much? If the problem is vibration, then I assume it's because of the cracked coating. Should I try taping it and then re-balancing the blades?
Thanks!
