Elevator bounce: How to reduce it?
Posted: Mon 04. Sep 2017 0:46:10
Most of my helicopters have a visible elevator bounce. Basically, the tail tends to overshoot whenever I go from pure (no cyclic input) negative collective to pure positive collective. I also experience this when doing aileron tic tocs. All of my helis have about perfect fore/aft center of gravity in ready to fly condition, and the swash is leveled at high/mid/low stick. I increased "Elevator filter" all the way up to "4" without resolution of the elevator bounce. To resolve this, I am thinking:
1) Increase Cyclic Gain
2) Maintain "Elevator Filter" at "4"
3) Make the fore/aft COG a bit nose heavy
4) Decrease "Flight Style" to make the heli behave more robotic
Please, let me know how to reduce or completely eliminate this elevator bounce.
