§
If you are unable to reach +10 degrees before the surfaces touch,
there is a problem with linkage elsewhere. Go back and recheck your
linkage.

Now we check the negative pitch.
o
Set your pitch guage to -10
o
Place it on one of the main blades.
o
Pull the collective (left stick) all the way down.
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 K below).
§
Check clearance B between the top of the collar and bottom of the swashplate
(figure L below).

If you are unable to reach -10 degrees before the surfaces touch, there is a
problem with linkage elsewhere. Go back and recheck your linkage.

•
Tail servo setup
o
Turn the radio on if not already on.
o
Set the Aileron D/R Switch to 0.
o
The servo should be centered from the previous steps. If it is not you need to go back to the
centering section and do this servo again. (You need to be in flight mode 1.)
o
With the servo centered, horn on, linkage connected, loosen the servo mount bracket so it
can be moved on the boom. Position the servo so the tail rotor blade pitch is 0 with the
servo arm centered as shown (figure M).
o
Also the bracket needs to be rotated until the control arm runs parallel with the boom.
(figure N)
o
Tighten the bracket down once these items are aligned.
