Hey I like the ironing board idea! lol... Somebody actually posted this musical keyboard holder as their plane stand...
For the price you can't beat it... I picked up two of them lol... I like the straight bars... and it feels really sturdy.
OAN, about your vibration... So I started getting back to my cobra build this weekend (I had been procrastinating b/c I needed to install the helical upgrades etc, and work, and hurricanes etc lol), and when I got it back on the test bed, I had a pretty wicked vibration in the tail. I went thru all kinda hell previously trying to get it (the tail) to calm down, which resulted in some over the top blade balancing etc. So, I was just back tracking... checking everything etc. I take the Mains off and do a run up (tail blades still on), and the tail boom is pretty much smooth as silk. Put the main blades back on, and its like Michael J Fox is holding the tail boom... I recently ordered a set of RotorTech 760 main blades, and although not as bad, the same result. To be honest getting pretty pissed... b/c I really can't determine the cause...
So I am running the CC Talon HV 120. I have set rpm governor running, and I have three head speeds set on my idle up switch. 1050 (just to get it spooled up), 1300, and 1400. B/c I kept getting so much vibration at 1300, never pushed up to 1400. After the 3rd time yesterday of talking things off looking, double checking etc... I just tried the 1400, and oddly enough most of the vibration went away.
So perhaps try some different head speeds? It does seem to be a lot of vibration you're having though... like to make me think something mechanical is out of whack... could be just one blade out of track.. or something like that. Perhaps start with no blades, see if there's any noticeable vibration in the tail, b/c if there is, the blades will just amplify that I would think.
I did one more check of things last night, changed my tail grips out (I had been planning to do that), and reset my governor to 1350 and 1410. Today when I get home I'm going to try it and see how it looks.
