  • Copterx 4 bladed floating head issue

    Looking for some help if anyone has used this before. I’m building a 450 Apache and thought the floating head would be perfect for it.
    I have not spooled it up yet, not even close. What I notice though is that it the feather shafts and blade grips have horizontal freedom as well as vertical.
    i would think that vertical yes they should pivot up and down giving Dihedral but the horizontal motion should be zero. Before I start heavy modification I thought maybe someone here has used one and has some thoughts on this head.

    thanks in advance

    I have the same head on the bench for my 450 A109. The fore/aft movement should be fine. It will result in nothing more than the lag/lag that the blades already do at the blade grips. I'll update whenever I get the mechanics together for a test.
