Checking the Swashplate for Level
After the three control linkages have been attached to the swashplate, it will be necessary to check the swashplate to insure
that it is level. To do this, turn on the radio system and place the collective stick in the center position as before. Next, check to
make sure that all trim levers and knobs are also in their center position.
Check to insure that the servo arms are parallel to the servos as adjusted in the previous step. If the servos are not paral-
lel, please refer to the sub-trim section on page 42 and readjust as necessary.
Once it’s determined that the servo arms are parallel to the servos as required, it will now be necessary to check the
swashplate to insure that it is also level or neutral in this position. It is suggested that the swashplate first be checked from the
rear of the model to insure that it’s level from left to right. If the swashplate is not level as compared to the frame of the model,
adjust either the left or right servo control rod as needed. To determine which rod needs adjustment, it may be helpful to view
the swashplate from the left and right side view of the model to determine which side is high or low.
Once this left to right adjustment is completed, it will now be necessary to check the fore/aft position of the swashplate to
insure that it is also level on this axis. If the swashplate is not level in the fore/aft axis, it is suggested that the adjustment be
made to the front servo control linkage as needed.
If you are unsure as to which linkage needs adjustment or are having difficulty obtaining the correct adjustment, please
check the length of each control rod to insure that it is adjusted to the correct length as outlined in Step 5-3.
Note:
If care was taken in the linkage assembly in Step 5-3, little or no adjustment should be required in this step. Only
minor adjustments should be made to the lengths of the control linkages at this time. Any major adjustments indi-
cates either incorrect linkage lengths or incorrect servo arm positioning. If the control linkage lengths are altered
from the recommended lengths more that one or two turns, this will have a great effect on the range and settings of
the collective pitch in later steps.
