unable to reproduce the left wheel does not fulfill its function when we taxi

[samu]

The left wheel does not do its job when we taxi, the wheel turns with the steer khob but the helicopter does not turn in any direction.

Hello

After trying several times to make a taxi ,the result is negative. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. on both occasions I use the collective to apply power (not too much, observe screen on monitors GND appears) apply STEER switch and rotate with STEER KNOB. But it doesn't always work. The left rear wheel turns but does not perform its function which is the direction (left-right) of the helicopter on the runway. When you press the brake so as not to pick up too much speed in the taxi , the left rear wheel does not perform its function of turning the helicopter.

 

I would appreciate any help or fix it.

While it takes some practicing, there are some things to pay attention to:

1. turn the AFCS knob to off for taxi operation

2. apply some thrust, only enough to set her into slow roll

3. Only after she starts rolling commence steering. Do not steer before she is rolling

4. Don't turn the steer knob into max. Try to make it work with small inputs. The faster you go, the more you will experience what you described when turning the steering knob beyond say 10 and all the way up to 30. She will bve unresponsive to such high inputs whenever you are beyond walking speed.

5. decrease thrust back to zero most of the time while taxiing, only apply thrust whenever she needs a little acceleration to maintain taxi speed.

Hey @samu

Like @Rongor said, it takes some practice to make it work.
Just follow the correct procedures and take it slow. Don't, rush it. This is a big bird with small wheels.
