I'll try one: What are the sources of 2/rev vibration in a two bladed helo?
I know that I don't have any significant 2/rev in hover, but do in forward
flite.
Stuart, you are definitely more current than I on blade tracking so let
me try to remember. A 1 or 2 per rev vibration which is constant
throughout the rpm range should require PC link adjustments. I hope I
remember, I did a bunch of these, a vibration which increases as RPM is
increased should require a trim tab adjustment. A flag is the easiest
way to adjust the blade track although if you have a vibrex you can get
it fine tuned. Tomorrow I'll go find my -20s for the OH58, UH1 and AH1
and see if my memory is bad.
