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, 35 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.
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 no t 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 leve l. 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.
Helicopter Center of Gravity (CG):
When the fly-bar is perpendicular to the tail-
boom, pick it up and the nose should be just slightly heavier. If you need to just
move your battery forward to get proper CG.
Washout Anti-rotation Pin:
Leave the pin relatively loose until you have your
radio equipment installed and your servos are operating correctly. Next, take
your washout link and line it up with the anti-rotation guide. Rotate the head so
that the main blades are parallel with the tail boom while the link is lined up. This
is where the pin should be rotation wise. Next, Cycle you swashplate all the way
to the top and tip it all the way in one direction. Rotate the head and make sure
the pin does not touch the swashplate a t any point in the rotation. You should
have the pin so that it is just not touching, but you want the pin as low as possible
so you have plenty of pin left at full negative. Once you have the rotation and the
