Havoc Heli Trim - A simple recipe For Controlling transmit Flight

Those of you who have purchased any of the Havoc Heli micro-heli flying machines made by Air Hogs are customary with the qoute of trim, especially right out of the box.

Getting the Havoc Heli to fly transmit is not easy, and can be frustrating. This is due to the front to back "balance" of the heli being off. Here is a easy course that you can use to very effectively solve this problem.

Programmable Slow Cookers

It seems that most all of the Havoc Helis are tail heavy right from the manufacturer. What is needed for transmit flight is a slight "nose down" condition, which will enable the heli to move forward. The instructions that came with the slight Air Hogs toy say to add some metallic tape to the nose, but this is not all that easy or adjustable.

Supplies Needed to Adjust Trim:

One or two approved level pins with large heads
One small box of medium glass beads (holes large sufficient to slide over level pin)

Instructions:

Start by sliding 3 or 4 of the glass beads onto the pin. You don't want to use super tiny beads here because you are seeing to add some weight. However, don't use beads that are too big that may slide right off the head of the pin.

Now, insert the pin containing the beads into the very tip of the nose of your Havoc Heli. Take your Heli for a test flight and consideration the turn in flying that the nose weight has produced.

If your heli is flying transmit too fast now, you will want to take off a bead or two and then retest. If you still can't get sufficient transmit motion from the heli, add some more beads, or you can even attach a second (or more) pins loaded with beads to furnish the exact transmit motion that you like.

This Havoc Heli trim technique has the benefit of being very quick and easy to adjust. You will be able to trim your micro-heli to the exact flying characteristics that you like. If you find it necessary to add quite a bit of weight, remember that it is good to use manifold pins instead of loading too many beads on one pin. This is because you want the pin to stay seated well in the Styrofoam nose so it won't fall out from a routine crash.

Happy flying!
