NB: a set of 'cams' part no. NHP 2000 is required to complete these blades. Cams are not included in the blades.
From Mild to Wild - NHP's Patented Variable Blade Mounting System.
NHP have taken blade performance to a higher level by developing a cam mounting system that will allow the blades to be fitted in the blades grips in varying positions, giving the pilot the ability to tune the blades response to suit his own flying style.
During flight the centre of gravity of the blade will align with the rotor head rotational axis. If the mounting hole is moved forward the blade tip will move forward (lead) making the control inputs more lively and faster responding. This suits an aerobatic 3D style of flying.
If the mounting hole is moved back the reverse happens, the blade tip moves back (lag) making the control inputs slower. This suits a beginner or scale style of flying.
The 'cammed' mounting system has a range of 7 positions, the middle position is neutral, with 3 leading and 3 lagging positions either side.
In addition a new blade has been developed specifically for use with the CAMS. 'High Modulus' carbon fibre has been used to dramatically increase torsional stiffness whilst keeping the root to tip flexibility. This makes for a smoother more precise performance as the blades provide some of the teeter effect.
How do I get the best performance for my style of flying?
For the pilot who wants to fly aggressive 3D, moving the cam to the first advance position will speed up the models response. Do not try the most advanced position first as the model may become too responsive, try each position in turn until you have the performance you want. You will find that if you run a high head speed then you can run a more advanced position.
Make sure that you use the same cam position on both blades.
Bear in mind that as you increase the models response you may reduce the models stability in fast forward flight. It is important that you explore all areas of your flying style before moving to the next position.
If you wish to slow the response of your model then using the range of 'lag holes' will make the performance more docile. Remember! make small adjustments at a time to see the affects on your models performance. When you are happy with the cam position that you have chosen. NHP recommend that you use a small amount of cyno glue to retain the cam and detent to stop them being lost if you remove your blades.
Do not try fitting these cams to other manufactures blades as you may reduce the blade strength. Our blades have been specifically made to allow the use of CAMS
