@FlyNavy Жыл бұрын

Damn, that`s a lot of feedback on your cyclic channel. At certain parts of the video, it looks like you have vertical vibration issue 1/1 (track of the main rotor blades) I would recommend checking the cyclic channel from a to b again, pay special attention for both axial and radial play at rod ends, bell cranks etc.. then performing track and balance check.
