requirements, you should have 0 degrees of main rotor blade pitch at center
stick. Make the necessary adjustment to complete the setup.
Pitch Curve Setup:
Complete the following steps in the Pitch Curve Menu of the Radio. In
Normal Mode make the Pitch curve the following: at Bottom-Stick,
0 to -2 Degrees; Mid-Stick, 5 to 6 Degrees, and Top-Stick, 9 to 10 Degrees.
For Stunt 1 & 2: Bottom-Stick, -9 Degrees; Mid-Stick, 0 Degrees; and
Top-Stick, 9 Degrees. Note: Stunt one; two should only be used by pilots, ready
for forward flight and aerobatics. Do not use these settings until your skill level is
ready.
Throttle Curve Setup:
Normal Mode, Bottom-Stick 20 Percent throttle;
Mid-Stick, 50 Percent Throttle, Top Stick 100 Percent Throttle. Stunt
1 & 2 Bottom-Stick 100 Percent; Mid-Stick, 25 Percent; Top Stick, 100
Percent.
Tail Rotor: Setup the Tail rotor limits so the throws that the tail pitch slider does
not exceed a 5mm gap between the tail case and the tail pitch slider.
Step 4 – Mechanical Setup
Servo Arm Length:
Servo arm Length should be as close to the T-levers and
elevator control arm as possible. This will allow for best servo setup.
Orient the servo arms:
With the collective stick is centered; ensure that the
head servo arms are perpendicular to their control rods. If they are not rotate
your arms to they are close and use your sub trims to fine-tune them.
Leveling the swash:
Using a ruler measure from the bottom of the swash plate
to the top main shaft-bearing block. Adjust all the connecting rods so that the
swash plate is level. Equal all the way around the swash plate. Also Hobbies &
Helis makes a nice swash-leveling tool to make this task easy.
Level the washout and mixer arms:
With the collective stick centered and the
fly-bar perpendicular to the main-shaft, ensure that the washout and mixer arms
are perpendicular to the main-shaft. Adjust rods as necessary.
Additional tail rotor information: When you set up your tail rotor you need to make
sure that your tail pitch slider is not going to hit your tail pitch control lever mount.
With some gyros you can adjust this and others you can't. If you have a gyro that
you can't adjust this all you need to do is take a piece of fuel tubing and slide it
onto your tail output shaft. Spin your tail rotor to make sure the fuel tubing is long
enough but not too long.
