| sparky, I fly linear too with two blades not multiblades. whatever your hover postion is where the heli takes off from the ground , really makes no difference to me where you put your the half stick postion .. depending on scale weight as oppose to pods you might need more pitch . I usually go with higher headspeeds which required less pitch not more with linear. on a pod setup i use -9+9 pitch ranges cleanly, better collective mgmt. throttle progressively increases beyond the end of collective pitch range. I only need 12+ at the very bottom of an auto. in a 3 bladed head it's more like -3, +10, +12 for auto. pitch arms at 10o'clock and 2o'clock max . blades made to flex ..
pitch is added with cylic too . you have to consider the amount of cyclic pitch added to your collective at anyone point. the soft dampened multiheads and skinny blades , don't auto well either, symetrical, general upright flying is about the norm. 13+ degrees is a stall condition unless you got the headspeed, and those skinny little blades won't save your heli when you need to auto. they bleed off inertia too quickly. yes theres extra play with the hirobo head, theres slop there.
emile, yes check out the century head and see if it stiffer and what types of blades they use with it.
