S107G Unbalanced Flight
Переглядів 20 тис.12 років тому
This helicopter flew well until what seemed like a not so severe crash. Now there is a wobble in the main rotor. When held down this wobble translates to a severe vibration in the tail. In flight, it flies in little circles. I suspect a bend in the inner shaft in the main rotor. Took it apart a could not notice an obvious bend. Any thoughts?? Are there any other areas that could cause this type...

      Although it appears they are facing each other, they actually were staggered - Mel is slightly further away. They did this to avoid eye contact so they wouldn’t make each other laugh.

    My S107G did the same thing after a light crash, it started hovering erratically, around in a circle, but not the TBE. The fix is very easy. What you need is the main rotor "inner shaft". It's only about $2 at amazonDOTcom or you can buy a repair kit for about $7 and it'll include the inner shaft. All you need is the plastic part on top of the shaft. There's two little pegs that stick out and that is what's broken on your helicopter. Loosen the two screws and it'll slide off the metal shaft.

  • @jessethelegoninja

    I am having the same problem and after comparing it to another identical helicopter we knew for sure it was a problem either with the balancer of the top pair of wings. Something is prob broken so you just need to keep looking until you find something bent or snapped and then replace it.

    hi guys if your s107g is flying round in circles, unscrew the two top screws holding the upper blade assembly. Remove the 2 buckles, unscrew two screws that holds the upper blades, and you will probably find that one pin of the upper plastic part of the inner shaft that drives the upper blades is broken, just replace the part and reassemble again.

  • @oleksiyd2001

  • @alien200049655
    @alien200049655 12 років тому

    check to box it came in, if it says S107 the its a fake one, If it says "S107G" then its real. the fakes have sub-standard batteries, among other problems. I have 2 fakes myself, I was suckered by a chinese seller on Ebay. don't buy these from Ebay they're probaby all fake. one possitive thing about these knockoffs is that they can be used to fix the real ones the parts are interchangeable.

  • @greene1616
    @greene1616 13 років тому

    easiest way to tell if this is it. It will fly for a few seconds, when you try to maneuver at all it will become unstable, blades will hit each other then it will crash. I recommend to stop flying till you fix this part or you will damage more parts. Its a easy and fairly cheep fix. hope this helps. If not then you have a similar problem as my last post. Ill find a solution for that one and post it

  • @greene1616
    @greene1616 13 років тому

    If your top blades pivot up and down the long way then its the top black T piece. Yes one pin is broke. It should only rock the small way on the blades. Im having a similar vibration... the whole heli vibrates in flight. It flies normally but shakes like a crack head suffering from withdraws... I have taken everything apart and everything appears normal.. This all started after putting larger and heavier blades on. OOPS, Don't do this

  • @bgallaher77
    @bgallaher77 13 років тому

    I sheared off a plastic post on my main shaft. This allowed the upper rotor assembly to vibrate. You might have had this happen with one of the post (there are two). I ended up replacing the main shaft. I just posted the video. Or, it might be a loss of connect buckle, part S107G-04. Without this flight is very unstable.

  • @Gh00lie1

    I have the same problem, not as bad as yours which also happened after a mild crash (I have crashed it many times before and a lot worse). I too can't see anything obviously wrong but if I find out the cause i'll let you know.
