That was a cool problem. I play an I spy game with my son in the car travelling - but in reverse, you have to give a clue, and if they cant guess it after three goes you are out. I spy something beginning with "R" - road (that's normally the first one. It gets quite hard. Easy can be hard - it's all in the context.

A Riddle. I can make your helicopter jump faster than you can move your fingers. I am collectively excited. What am I?

 

An electron?

 

nice guess, very lateral

A flybarless unit

Wind.

 

Well some are close... @Johnnybgoode - very relevant but not exactly right. @Stuart - its to do with a flybarless unit - yes. (hint) It Could be a feature perhaps of some flybarless units.

 

captain rescue ! (auto level and climb out on a momentary switch)

Improper idle-up setting?

 

No @simon and @Beaver. Think more of a specific gyro setting - lets say in vbar or beastx. I know this feature is also in other gyros called a slightly different feature. Think along the lines of the collective pitch moving faster the the fingers

 

Feed forward ? Cyclic feed

 

Very close - very close @ScottE. Keep thinking of features and what would react faster than your fingers collectively

 

Shot in the dark..... Pitch boost set too high?? Or You were in TX throttle expo when programing pitch (k).

 

@Beaver, you are correct! The pitch boost feature will actually accelerate the collective pitch faster than your fingers push so it exaggerates the collective. Everyone was so close. Your turn @Beaver.

 

It was a lucky guess from some fast reading.

 

I fly straight and level all around, but when I piro- my nose drops down. (This should be an easy one for you guys.)

 

Funnel

 

Confucius say: "Dog who bark up wrong tree no find root of problem." ....... Think diagnostically. Nose hangs a bit low during piro in level flight or hover.

 

If the nose hangs low, then possibly the COG is out of balance. Head Heavy or Top Heavy @Beaver?

 

Confucius say: "He who walk through airport door sideways going to Bangkok." ..... Logical conclusion @smakmeharder, but not the answer I was looking for. Nose drops when piro is executed.
