I lost count at the number of balancing runs I made in order to figure all this out. Many were wasted because I did not fully understand what I was doing. It was not until I engaged Matt Dock of Dyna Vibe to help that the light bulb finally came on.
Matt is an expert and a great guy. His equipment is top notch and affordable. He is now the most knowlegeable person in the world on balancing the Safari Helicopter. If you don't have a balancer buy one of his. You don't need the fancy one but you do need the Helicopter version.
Image 1 shows an actual averaged reading in forward flight. This is not a snapshot of faked photo. No I have not be able to repeat it, but I am always around .15 ips in both Lateral and Vertical in forward flight at cruise speeds.
Give Matt and Dyna Vibe a call.
