  • Rotor trim spring

    Would a trampoline spring be suitable for rotor trim spring or is it too stiff?

    Too strong..............better off using 2 weaker springs. ( spread loading )look into what "offset" you have up there, and maybe look into changing that offset...........some blades need less/more offset to get the right "stick feel" getting the right "stick feel" by hanging bloody great springs up there is really not the way to go............gentler springs OKjust my view.....
    If you aim for nothing, you'll hit it every time

      I"ve used long trampoline springs for decades. I thread some black bungie cord through it incase it breaks, or falls off to prevent a chain reaction of events. When I say long, some springs off trampolines are about a foot long.
