o
Aileron D/R switch to one and all other switches at 0.
o
Motor disconnnected for safety.
o
Connect battery to ESC and wait for Gyro to initialize.
o
All servo arms should still be centered.
o
Extend your main blades and make sure the flybar and the blades are level.
o
Examine the image below and compare to your head linkage.
o
Starting with the linkage coming from the servos, make sure the bottom of the swashplate is
level all the way around.
o
Move up to the head linkage and adjust as necessary to get the alignment shown below.

Figure G
•
Setting 0 pitch
o
Check that transmitter sticks are at center.
o
Set your pitch guage to 0 and place it on one of the main blades.
o
Hold the flybar and blades level by lifting on the guage.
o
If all is well your flybar and top of guage will be parallel showing your pitch is at 0.
o
Do the same for the other blade.
o
You should be right on if not, very close. You can make slight adjustments using the short
linkage connected to the blade grips.
Figure H
•
Now we can set your positive.
o
Set your pitch guage to +10
o
Place it on one of the main blades.
o
Push the collective (left stick) all the way up.
o
Level the blades and flybar by lifting on the guage.
o
The top of the guage and flybar should be parallel or very close. (figure I below)
o
If more pitch is needed to get +10 degrees we will need to access the Function Mode on
the transmitter.
§
With the transmitter already on, press scroll and increase at the same time.
§
Press scroll until MIX CP2 is displayed.
§
Press channel until MIX CP6 is displayed.
§
Use increase to add more collective. You should see the collective increase as you
make the adjustment. Increase until +10 is obtained.
§
Check clearance A between the top of the washout base and bottom of the
main rotor housing (figure J below). The gap can be tighter than what is
shown but they surfaces should not be butted together.
